One one level the physical universe is considered a paradox.
By the first law of thermodynamics, energy is never created or lost, merely converted from one form into another.
If energy is never created, how did the universe get here?
Oh, it was created from nothing.
If it was created from nothing, then what was there to create it?
One view is as a very unlikely random fluctuation in the curvature of spacetime. It happens all the time on a very small scale.
Keep in mind that the first law of thermodynamics involves a closed system.
