The re-arrangement of matter is what brings the illusion of 'coming into existance' but there is really nothing new just re-arranged or re-distributed. This universe does not require a first cause. It just is???

The alternative is that something can come from nothing which is impossible for me to conceive.
This does not really address shape - but what shape is infinity.
Many thanks to you Tina,welcome to this wonderful community here at toequest,I agree
with you the universe just IS!


warm regards michael.
