Einstein's biggest mystery was the U.S Income Tax Code.  He oughta see it now. 

Don't know about Newton's biggest mystery, tho.

It's a good point... Before the universe happened there was no matter. And we know that you can't go to 'something' from 'nothing' in physics (matter cannot be created or destroyed, only changed between types). So there should still be 'nothing' in the universe. Matter + Anti-matter = zero (nothing). But the anti-matter is not with us as we would've imagined.


I believe anti-matter is just part of why it's called a 'scientific model'. Because it creates the best image of the universe that we can create so far, but there are still gaps in these theories, so we make estimates... At least, until better knowledge comes along, then the model is corrected.



Physics exams are in a couple of weeks

That's just the generalization.

My personal view is that there was matter.... In a different universe, that 'fell through' into ours. Like a blackhole opening up on the other side after the old universe collapsed into it. Do I have proof? Heck no. But plenty of scientists are willing to just throw ideas out there 


(The real question is... What were the origins of the first universe?  )

They taught us a different theory when I was at school. This one is currently in vogue. At some time in the future another one will surface.

You can't prove it any more than I can disprove it. That's the beauty of all this nonsense.

I was taught that God created the Universe in six days. People ask how was this possible. All the Earth and moons and stars could NEVER be created in just six days, they say. I would reply "What's a day to God?" We are tiny humans. He is infinite. A day to Him might be 100 million years to us. Or even longer. The term "days" is used in the Scriptures to put a human value on it. The people of the day when the Bible was written didn't know from numbers much above what they could count or see as cows, sheep or camels. Say "one billion" to a man in 12 AD, and he'd have absolutely no idea what you meant. Today, we can buy computers for $1000-1500 that have four-core chips in them that can add 4 billion ones and zeros per second-- per core.
