One of the laws of matter states that matter cannot be created or distroid, only changed in form, but in order to be there must ba a begining. is this one of the unsolveable questions of the universe?

Wiki to the rescue: Conservation of mass.

The conservation of matter is purely a classical empirical observation.
Matter is NOT conserved during nuclear reactions!
The origin of all matter is the big bang (NOT CLASSICAL CONDITIONS).
This is known as baryogenesis, which resulted from asymmetry between matter and antimatter.

This is not a mystery.
If you're uncomfortable with the idea of a beginning, ponder what it was like for you before you were born.
The big bang and the formation of matter is an interesting insight into origin and nature of our universe.

I don't think I've heard about the law conservation of matter before, but I had the same conception that matter cannot be destroyed :X
(which is why i had headache trying to understand the loss in mass in E=mc^2)

Thx gendou, for the conservation of mass link. Cleared some of my doubts.
