illusion or reality?
The big bang theory states that the universe was formed from an infinitely dense, small point called as the singularity. It was like a hot soup of matter and antimatter trying to annihilate each other. But matter had the edge and thus the beautiful world around us was formed. But the question is from where did the extra matter come from or where did the antimatter go? This apparently violates the law of conservation of mass or energy.
Now this has led scientists to come to the hypothesis of the parallel universe. If a parallel universe exists then what is the description of the universe in which we are living in? Is this universe illusion or reality?
Another argument can be put forward:- if we zoom in matter to reach the molecule level to the atom level then to the proton level and subsequently to the quarks and leptons and then the higgs boson level..............this can be continued indefinitely. By using the concept of limits we would come to a point where volume is zero or the magnitude of mass becomes zero. This again means that mass doesn't exist and thus the universe itself does not exist. this makes me ask the same eerie question again is the world, "illusion or reality?"

Again, if we zoom into it, mass won't become zero, suppose we have a ball. inside it are two balls of same mass each, and again inside it are two balls each... it continues... but masses can't be zero. it will halve for ever. Higgs boson is another 'blunder particle' according to me. They are saying that 'higgs' is another virtual particle like graviton... These things are violating conservation of mass and energy. Also another thing is photon. It is a virtual-real particle too. If it doesn't have mass, it won't have energy.
And then the big bang... It is true that Big Bang exists. Your question is, from where does this world come? eerie question... But the only answer is God... this is the sign that god exists.
Another thing is that everything is matter. No energy can exist without matter. And according to me, mass is like a 'container of energy'. Also, we can hypothesize that at its particle form, at a very high temperature, even the gravitational ability will go. At that time the pressure built up will have an energy of more than 1030 eV/m^2. At that moment, this force pushes all those particles at near the speed of light (appox.299792457.999999999999999m/s). and will have very large mass and collide with each other and will form atoms and molecules. It will expand at the speed of light and will slow down slowly finally colliding with the gravitational bosons and thus, time and relativity is established again. And finally they form large masses. That's how our universe is born. Then again everything will also go back to the big bang state. This is called the big crunch. again, because of this effect, a cycle forms.
