There is no original matter. The sum total of matter and energy in the universe is zero.

Universe

Population: None.

It is known that there is an infinite number of worlds, but that not every one is inhabited. Therefore there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so if every planet in the Universe has a population of zero then the entire population of the Universe must also be zero, and any people you may actually meet from time to time are merely the product of a deranged imagination.

Your comment immediately brought this to mind. Sorry.

Does that mean that there was original energy and some of it became matter? Or, was there some sort of non-energy, non-matter that became a combination of energy and matter? If neither of those holds water, what was the original state? Was it nothingness?
