If matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed, then the Universe has never not existed, right?

Nah, all physical laws are only known to be valid within this universe.

>right?
no, because matter and energy can be moved
for all we know, the matter/energy that is in this universe popped out of another universe in the multiverse

>>8922098
What's the unmoved mover?

>> No.8922104

>>8922100
doesn't require one

>> No.8922105

>>8922098
But the point is that matter/energy has always existed, right?

>> No.8922112

>>8922105

>> No.8922116

>>8922112
assuming OP means universe as encompassing everything that exists, then it is

>> No.8922119

>>8922076
Unless the restrictions on creating or destroying matter are an emergent property that came into existence with this version of the universe

Apeiron.
