welcome to the fray Jazzns.
Why does the universe have as much matter/energy as it does if it is constant?
It gets murky when you get into the upper stratospheres of astrophysics. but I have been told that gravity works into the equations as negative energy (this gets into the explanation of why they now have added "dark energy" to the universe on top of "dark matter" to make the equations balance and match observations (patchwork science imho) but there it is)
AND when you sum up the universe you end up with net zero (or should I say total so people aren't rushing out to invest in the dialup company
).
If it all adds up to zero and the universe started at zero, then conservation is maintained.
Enjoy.
