Unfortunately, that's not how it works. Everything has its origin in hydrogen. Where the hell hydrogen came from, I do not know. Likely converting energy to mass, with the first nuclear reaction. Jastro explains there's three of them, each one forming new elements from other elements.rasanders22 said:but just to say "We made gold out of nothing" would be pretty darn awsome.

As far as black holes and that area, don't beat yourself up. Our world's smartest physicists cant even exexplain why gravity works. sure we can measure it and accuratly predict how it will interact with objects, but the fundamental reason why is still unknown. The best theory out there is a particle called the highs boson particle carry the force of gravity. However we still have not been able to detect it.
The idea I am really interested is the idea of zero point energy. Steven Hawking proposed the idea that the vacuum of space is full of virtual paired particles that pop into our inverse then anhilate each other shortly afterwards. If they are kept from anhiliating each other then there is a force created. If you have 2 parallel plates inside a vacuum that are close to eachother, there will be a force pushing the plates apart (or together I forgot). Researchers have actually done this and have measured a force being created being created from this theory.
If you are interested in reading more about this, it is called Hawking radiation and is a product of his work into black holes. He came up with the idea that for every bit of matter a black hole takes it, it must radiate an equal amount out. This can only happen if hawking radiation at the event horizon exists. One particle falls back into the black hold, one escapes into space.
Crazy stuff I know. I would love to study physics but the pay isn't that great and I really suck at the math portion of physics.
