One way or another, the beginning of the universe has to violate conservation laws, doesn't it?

- eru 17y agoNot necessarily. E.g. the total energy/mass of the universe could sum up to 0, if you take potential energy in a gravitational field from a reference point infinitely far away (and other such tricks). The total charge charge is probably very close to zero anyway. Total impulse can be made zero by choosing a suitable coordinate system. And so on for the other conserved properties.
