False.
Science does offer explanations and testable theories for how matter and energy emerged and evolved — for example:
- The Big Bang model (with cosmic inflation) describes an early hot, dense state and how space, energy and particles evolved from it.
- Quantum field theory and processes like pair production convert energy into particles.
- Baryogenesis and related particle-physics mechanisms aim to explain the observed matter–antimatter asymmetry.
That said, the absolute, ultimate origin (what—if anything—preceded the Planck epoch or “why there is something rather than nothing”) remains an open philosophical and scientific question.
