In the first episode of this science podcast, we will delve into the most-important question ever asked: how did it all begin? In this episode we will discuss various theories surrounding the origin of the universe, potential causes for this origin, the eventual death of our universe, and theories surrounding this eventual death. On top of this, you will learn some reasons as to why scientists know how our universe began, and how scientists can map how our universe may "end." Thank you for listening to the first episode of "Learning by William" and I hope you all enjoy! Have a good morning, evening, night, and day.
