The article explores humanity's longstanding pursuit of understanding the Universe's origins, transitioning from mythical narratives to scientific inquiry. The shift in perspective began in the early 20th century when scientists, including Einstein, perceived the Universe as static. However, advancements in physics led to the Big Bang theory, now understood as part of a larger cosmic timeline that includes cosmic inflation. The author encourages viewers to engage with both a science video and accompanying articles that delve deeper into the evolving story of the Universe's creation.
For as long as humans have been around, we've not only asked these questions, but have provided stories... that allege to give an answer.
We now assert that the Big Bang wasn't even the beginning at all, but was preceded by an even earlier stage known as cosmic inflation.
If you wanted to know where the Universe came from, scientifically, you'd be compelled to do two things... learn the laws of physics.
We didn't have enough knowledge to apply that scientific approach to the entirety of the Universe until the early 20th century.
