I don't know the answer to this, but if anyone does, please answer.

What came first, the chicken or the egg?

How could there be a chicken without an egg, and how could there be an egg, without a chicken? I'm puzzled.

well, if you believe in creationism (with a literal interpretation of genesis), the chicken.

if you believe in evolution, it depends on your definition of a chicken egg. If you define it as an egg laid by a chicken, then the chicken obviously came first. If you define it as an egg containing a chicken embryo, then the egg came first because, at some point, a bird that was not quite what we would define as a chicken would have given birth to a bird with just enough of a mutation to be considered a chicken. of course, where you draw this line would be very fuzzy.

imagine a lizard which laid a lizard egg. Millions of years later, its descendant was a chicken, which lays a chicken egg. But there was no moment when chicken-ness suddenly leapt into existence. Similarly, there was no first land animal, there was no first lung, and there was no first skeleton. The current scientific theory has all of these coming about bit by bit.

In short, if a species was created abruptly, then a chicken-and-egg question would make sense. But if that species evolved, then there was no first chicken, and there was no first egg.

Many of physics consider, that:
" The Physics is first of all Vacuum. "
P. Dirac wrote:
" Тhe problem of the exact description of vacuum, in my opinion,
is the basic problem worth now before physics.
Really, if you can’t correctly describe vacuum,
how is it possible to expect for the correct description anything more complex? ".
It is completely correct.
In Vacuum physics have groped true and the
condition of infinite / eternal Vacuum characterized
with one simple physical parameter T=0K.
The philosophy of science begins from T=0K .
The physics begins from T=0K.
The religion begins from T=0K .
The origin of Existence begins from T=0K .
