In this episode, we unravel the origins of our universe through the lens of the Big Bang Theory—the leading scientific explanation for how everything began. From a singular, unimaginably dense point, space itself expanded, giving birth to galaxies, stars, planets, and ultimately life. We explore the groundbreaking discoveries that support this theory, including cosmic microwave background radiation and the expansion of the universe. Along the way, we’ll discuss competing ideas, unanswered questions, and what the Big Bang means for our understanding of time, space, and the fate of the cosmos.
