Current scientific models can describe the history of the Universe back to the moment of the Big Bang. The most crucial question is: what happened at the moment of the Big Bang? According to the most widely accepted theory, the Universe simply arises from nothing, as quantum mechanics allows for such an occurrence, albeit with very low probability. Thus, the Universe emerged from nothing in this super-ordered state. Since then, it has been expanding and its entropy has been increasing. But if the Universe can emerge from nothing, why couldn't a human brain emerge from nothing in the same way?
