hi

for my notepad i'm trying to find if there is an existing term/Wikipedia page about the fact of searching/finding the explanation about how/why stuff exists

Is cosmology the ultimate thing?

Imagining the universe might be contained in something else, is there a term about going to the root?

Imo it's difficult to imagine going to the ultimate origin of things, until there is nothing at all

I can't imagine something coming from nothing

I can't imagine something always existed

So my belief now is that the human brain or just mine lol is currently not able to conceive/understand what is everything

I guess the answer goes beyond the existing words, above "all" and "none"

But yes if you know a term to indicate the search of the answer to ~ "finding the origin if existence", i would like to read it

regards

Curiosity ?

Welcome to the human race. Nobody understands everything, all any of us can do is make an attempt. Whether the universe came from "nothing" or if it has "always" been here, has been a debate amongst philosophers and cosmologists for centuries. Having read philosophical treatises by at least a couple dozen authors, I don't know how you could prove it one way or the other. However, being an engineer by training and therefore a strong believer in thermodynamics, I tend toward the "always been there" belief.

@MigL i think "curiosity" is too vast for what I meant i was searching for

I tried to search again for words for a way to explain

I thought about "explanation", and "existence"

seems to me "why the universe exists?" is cosmology

from what i understand, all we know is inside the universe, so figuring out why the universe exists would be the current maximum distance we can clearly set the objective to

I guess there is no word/term to search beyond it (yet?)

@npts2020 does the universe got created or always existed, hmm

Unlike you i tend toward the "got created" version

i can't imagine this always been there (even a tiny version before an expansion)

also, i can't imagine that in the past there was nothing

that's frustrating not to know...

i can't imagine the universe not being contained in something else...

what i like to think about is: what is the ultimate container?

and even it, I can't imagine it came from nothing...

No, that's Philosophy.

Cosmology, being an observation based science, does not deal with 'why', it deals with 'how'.

There are two words that seem to me to be connected to the question you are asking:

Ontology: The philosophical study of being.

Epistemology: The philosophical study of knowledge.

Well, you did say 'everything'. If that's not vast, I don't know what is.
