Where did the Universe come from?
To answer any physical question, you must ask the Universe itself. But what happens when the answers aren't around anymore?
Key Takeaways
- Perhaps the biggest question of all that we're capable of conceiving is about our ultimate origins: where did all this come from?
- From examining the Universe itself, we can uncover the answer to many aspects of this question: where the planets, stars, elements, atoms, and even the Big Bang came from.
- But the farther back we go, we find we run into an inevitable problem: the Universe cannot provide answers beyond a certain point. What we make of that is up to us.
