  You are better off asking someone who actually knows about this but I’ll do my best:
  
  At some point all matter was condensed into something infinitely small, which is known as the singularity. This started expanding at the speed of light in an event called the Big Bang, and that’s about all I know…

  It’s such a massive question, that I don’t even nearly know the answer.
  In fact, no-one really know for sure – but phyicists are doing a good job of coming up with theories that they are testing to find out.
  
  One of the things that phyicists are doing at CERN with the Large Hadron Collider (see here is trying to re-create what conditions might have been like right after the ‘big bang’. I am no physicist at all, but they are trying to work out how our universe might have begun – it’s work worth keeping up with.

  One of my favourite Scientists, Stephen Hawking has been working on theories behind this. A newer theory is that no single event began the universe- but rather every event possible! This theory then suggests that there could be multiple universes… Its mind-boggling stuff, and is going to take alot of clever scientists many many years to come closer to the truth!
