      The universe was in a very hot and dense state, which lead to rapid expansion. As the universe expanded so rapidly, it cooled significantly and the energy was converted in to subatomic particles.

      I’m not a astrophysicists, but I don’t think anyone knows. If I were to guess I would say that it’s if something could happen it will if you wait long enough.

      I’m not sure what actually made the big bang happen in the first place, except for a VERY high density of mass in a tight spot! When this density exploded it made the expanding universe that we know today, which is still expanding at a very fast rate by the way!!!!

      Who knows? I often wonder if our universe might have been created from a huge explosion that ended a previous universe. In terms of our universe, you know how it goes, our best and brightest figure that it’ll make an even bigger bang!
