The Symmetry of the Big Bang: Matter-Energy Conversion and the Origin of Existence
Perhaps some have wondered: if matter approaching a black hole converts into energy after crossing the event horizon, could energy possibly be converted into matter through some mechanism?
In other words, just as matter falling into a black hole produces no fundamental change in the black hole regardless of the matter's specific properties—with its sole effect being an increase in gravitational energy—this demonstrates matter-energy equivalence. Simply put, if matter falls into a black hole, it converts into energy. Furthermore, looking at the formation process of a black hole, one sees a massive star losing volume down to quark-gluon particles. In the eyes of physicists, this can mean only one thing: the Big Bang operating in reverse. Expanding on this concept, if massive stars can instantly contract into quark-gluon particles through a hypernova explosion without losing any mass, then before the universe was formed, a single particle containing the total mass of the universe could similarly have exploded—first separating into quark-gluon particles, which then recombined under immense energy to form the universe we inhabit today.
If this is the case, a question naturally arises: what kind of environment contained that initial particle containing the entire mass of our universe? And did the other quark-gluon particles within that entity form what we refer to today as parallel universes? Moreover, where was that initial particle—from which every universe emerged—located at the beginning? Who brought it into existence, and how? Since this process cannot regress endlessly like Russian nesting dolls (Matryoshka), must there not be a Creator?
At this point, I believe that Allah is the One who created this entire process from nothing, both at the origin and throughout its ongoing dynamics. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, but I raised these questions to provoke thought. I hope it has been helpful.
