Not sure science knows the answer of whether there was matter in the very early moments of the universe. This is Wiki's take on it. Inflation and baryogenesis Main articles: Cosmic inflation and baryogenesis The earliest phases of the Big Bang are subject to much speculation. In the most common models the universe was filled homogeneously and isotropically with an incredibly high energy density and huge temperatures and pressures and was very rapidly expanding and cooling. Approximately 10-37 seconds into the expansion, a phase transition caused a cosmic inflation, during which the universe grew exponentially. [18] After inflation stopped, the universe consisted of a quark–gluon plasma, as well as all other elementary particles. [19] Temperatures were so high that the random motions of particles were at relativistic speeds, and particle–antiparticle pairs of all kinds were being continuously created and destroyed in collisions. At some point an unknown reaction called baryogenesis violated the conservation of baryon number, leading to a very small excess of quarks and leptons over antiquarks and antileptons—of the order of one part in 30 million. This resulted in the predominance of matter
