How does something materialize from nothing?

I think you haven't really read the theory to be honest. Your statement is all wrong.

If we define the matter as any thing has mass then photons is matter.\nThis is although the rest mass of the photon is zero but it has a mass while running at speed of light

How can you have something if nothings there? Atoms are made up or protons, neutrons, and quarks which are the basic building blocks of matter. Well at least until someone discovers there made up of something else lol!

No one knows.  It is believe it formed from photons of light.  However, scientist are not puzzled on how it happened but rather its byproducts, matter and anti-matter.  For every particle, there is an anti-particle.  In theory, if anti-matter comes in contact with matter, it cancels itself out.  Meaning, if anti-matter existed in our Universe, we wouldn't be here.  Our Universe seems to made only of matter.  So where is this anti-matter?  \n\nI read an article that there was some evidence to prove that matter pops into our Universe seemingly out of nowhere.  I wish i could find more information on it but I can't.  Below is an easy to read article.  It's all fascinating stuff and it is written in easy to understand language.  \n\nhttp://www.pbs.org/wnet/hawking/mysteries/html/gleiser-1.html\n\nhttp://www.pbs.org/wnet/hawking/html/

Unless you are referring to matter, e.g, atoms, being converted into pure energy, the only way any form of matter can completely disappear is if it is what is known as a virtual particle produced from vacuum fluctuations in space, which immediately disappears without any affect on the surrounding matter or space

I don't think that the Big bang puts a dent in materialism.  Consciousness and the existence of the subjective reality is, to me, the first and last nail needed to sel the coffin on materialism.  the subjective reality is innately immaterial, but materialists refuse to recognize it merely because it can't fit into a materialisat schema.  Yet the subjective reality is far more assured than the objective reality, as the former can be truly known directly, while the latter cannot.

they make stuff out of it.

"Dividing by nothing" doesn't mean you would do nothing.  It means, "how many piles of nothing (zero) would you have to add up to get to the original number?".  \n\nHow many piles of zero would you have to have in order to have 2?  The answer isn't even infinity, because you would still never have 2.  So it's not possible, and 2/0 can't be represented by any number.

It has no mass. But it has relative mass of ≤ 1. It is a matter.

Disregard butchtroll, he doesn't know anything and is obviously just guessing.\n\nA absolute zero, although practically impossible to reach, it is theoretically very easy to calculate. Just assume that all particles have a velocity of zero, and calculate the lowest potential structure according to the lennard-jones potential and possible electro-static potential. The result concludes a structure quite similar to crystals at living-room temperature.\n\nButch - practically as in cannot be obtained through anything but theoretical experiments. Although, temperatures can actually be achieved that is sufficiently low to allow, in some degree, to regard matter as having a temperature of absolute zero. Theoretically, if such matter should exist, it would affect the universe in any significant way. That the universe cease to exist if absolute zero was reached, would be a prerequisite, not a result. You can do that math yourself and see if it is possible - or borrow the particle similator program I've written.\n\nmore: I find it funny that you preach about humility, after calling me an idiot. Especially after mixing different types of energy together and calling the lot for temperature. Sure, if an atom contain absolutely no energy, it would collapse into a black hole. But temperature is NOT a measure of total energy.\n\nyet more: Still you call me an idiot, and still you attempt to call humiliary high ground. I'm not saying I know everything myself - but wheter temperature is all energy, or just momentum of "particles", is pretty far from'everything'. As a student in nanotechnology, I can honestly say that, you sir, are blinded by your own feeble knowledge of physics. Temperature of matter is usually described as the summation of vibrational, momentum, rotational energy and phonons. NOT electronic excitation or any kind of potential energy.\n\nYour question was inane, and I *did* answer it. Nothing would happen with the universe if a cloud of hydrogen would suddenly come into existence with a temperature of zero kelvin. If you don't understand what I'm writing, just say so, instead of stating that I didn't answer your question.\n\nWhat do you attempt to prove with your citation? You seem lost, sir?\n\nWhat do you need a value of? What the temperature of the solid hydrogen would be after 1 second? Sorry, but I don't care enough to calculate how much a certain amount of hydrogen crystal would increase in temperature from background radiation.

In physics, matter is commonly defined as the substance of which physical objects are composed, not counting the contribution of various energy or force-fields, which are not usually considered to be matter per se (though they may contribute to the mass of objects). Matter constitutes much of the observable universe, although again, light is not ordinarily considered matter. Unfortunately, for scientific purposes, "matter" is somewhat loosely defined.\n\nSee http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter for more information on matter.\n\nGood Luck!!!

I dont have an actual numerical percentage for you, but yes, matter is mostly made up of just empty space.\nThere not only is lots of empty space in between atoms, but also, the atom itself is mostly empty space as well.\nWhen you scale an atom into normal terms, the VAST majority of its mass is concentrated in an extremely mall area (the nucleus) and its electrons orbit very far away (in relative terms).

If nothing exist, It must be outside our own Universe where there is no time, matter, energy nor space. Just 'nothing' which cannot be comprehended. \n\nHow can you comprehend nothing if nothing is existed?\nThere is nothing to be comprehended afterall.\nYou better stop thinking nothing and start thinking something.

Nothing but a theory to explain the unexplainable.  All known matter relfects light, radiation, energy.

Matter is 4 dimensional, Spirit is intangible & cross demensional. All Creation was in God's Mind, till He spoke it into existance. Therefore matter Came from the Spirit and is less real than the Spirit that made it.

Nothing is nothing. Energy is something.\n\nIf there is nothing in a universe then is it even a universe?  No, it is not, it's nothing.
