Where did all matter and energy in the universe first come from?

We do not know.
It is hypothesized that there could be a cyclic Big Bang system - one in which a universe expands, halts, contracts to a black hole density, and then goes through a Big Bang expansion again.
It is also suggested that the physics conditions, and perhaps even the maths, are so different in a black hole; that we have no tools to consider the problem.
Pascal, when asked "how do I become a mathematician?" he answered "Find an insoluble problem and work on it." [of course that may be apocryphal. ]

Where does energy originally come from?
Energy is stored in every particle of matter in the universe. It just exists. It can neither be created nor destroyed.
Who says space time and matter?
Space, time, and matter are 3 of the four main ingredients of the physical universe (the 4th being energy) hence, the terms tend to come up in physics. One can hear physicists using them.
Is energy formed when light energy hits matter?
Here is as close as you can come to a sacred rule in science: Energy is Neither Created Nor Destroyed. At most, it can be converted from one form to another. When light energy (let's say sunshine), which is made of photons, falls on matter (let's say a brick), the matter is heated and it reemits this heat, also in the form of photons, but of longer wavelength that those of the light. If we pile on the heat, as by putting the brick in a kiln, eventually it would begin to glow with light energy, which is to say with photons of shorter wavelength. As we all know, E=MC2, or Matter is really just a REALLY concentrated form of Energy, which is actually moving even if to our senses it is still and cold. When things are burned or involved in nuclear reactions, the universe loses some matter and gains some energy, but since they're both the same thing, the Rule still holds: neither created nor destroyed.
What happens when energy is taken away from matter?
The substance's particals will start slowing down and come closer together. As kinetic energy is removed from a substance, it will do the opposite as when kinetic energy is added to a substance.
What happens to the waste energy?
Energy is never removed from our universe. Most energy seems to dissappear but most likely it is being transferred to heat, light, force(mechanical), or potential energy as a side product to what the target energy out come was.

What is the largest thing in the universes?
The largest THING in the universe is the universe itself. Then would come DARK ENERGY. Third is DARK MATTER and lastly would be clusters of galaxies.
Who is the father of physical?
Technically Isaac newton would be more likely to deserve the name father of physics. Albert Einstein would be more likely to be called the father of astrophysics, although physics and astrophysics are related. Physics is the science of matter and energy. Astrophysics is matter and energy as it relates to the universe. However, if a father should be the first person who comes up with physics, then it could be thought of as Thales of Miletus who was the first to come up with primordial matter.
If the universe is expanding and energy can only be transferred from mass and vice-versa ...where does the new energy come from?
There is no new energy.

Can new matter be created on earth or is what is on the earth all that will ever be?
According to the theories of physicist Albert Einstein, Max Planck and others, matter and energy can be neither created nor destroyed, but can be interchanged. This would indicate that matter can be "created" from energy which could, of course, come from somewhere other than the planet earth...for instance, energy from the sun, or elsewhere in the universe. These theories, then, are saying that energy is simply matter broken down to simpler forms, which can be reconstituted back to matter.
In what order were the universe galaxies solar systems stars planets and moons created?
We believe that the universe came first, in the first instant after the "Big Bang". The universe was filled with a high density of energy, too much energy for any mass to have existed. The universe had to expand and cool before any matter at all could come into existence!We cannot yet be certain, but I believe that the first enormous stars probably coalesced, fused their hydrogen into helium and exploded before there was enough structure to call it a "galaxy". These early stars could not have had any planets or moons; the first matter was mostly hydrogen, and nothing heavier that a trace of lithium could have existed until the first and second generations of stars had died in supernova explosions. It is the supernova, not the star, that creates heavier elements such as silicon, carbon, or iron.
Where did all mass come from?
The Big Bang! At the very beginning of the universe, there was no matter (so no mass) only energy. After a bit of time, the universe cooled off a bit, and matter was able to form, because energy and mass are really the same thing. That's what Einstein's famous E=mc^2 equation means, E is energy, m is mass, and c^2 is a really big number. That means that if you have a huge amount of energy, you can make a tiny bit of mass, and vice versa.
What is dark matter and what exists for it?
We know that dark matter exists because it got gravity, though it is invisible. It hold galaxy and Universe. There is a theory there many other parallel universe outside our universe and dark matter holds those universe up and some scientists says that dark matter are just mass of the matter of the parallel universe. It sounds crazy but that is the Law of Physics. However there is not exact explanation of what dark matter really is, so there are still Noble Prices for those who can come up with a reasonable explanation
Wh where does chemical energy come from?
Chemical energy comes from the movement of atoms and molecules in matter. Chemical energy comes from the movement of atoms and molecules in matter.
Why is there far more matter than antimatter in the visible universe?
It may have to do with the way the universe was created. Certainly if there was a lot of antimatter created, much of it may well have come in contact with matter through the billions of years the universe has existed. That would have resulted in the conversion of that antimatter (along with a like amount of matter) into energy. There may not have been much antimatter around to begin with, too. But, since the amount of visible matter represents less matter than has been calculated to exist in the uinverse, it may be that there is a good bit of antimatter out there somewhere. Not likely, but possible.
Where Did Matter In your Universe Come From?
That is currently unknown. According to Conservation of Mass, all the mass currently in the Universe must have already been present at the moment of the Big Bang. What happened before that - or if there actually was a "before" - is unknown. Actually, at the very beginning, there was a lot of energy, but not much mass. Mass arose from this energy in accordance with Einstein's famous equation E = mc2.
