The universe is vast and mysterious, stretching out in all directions beyond our comprehension. But how did it all begin? How did something as vast and complex as the universe come to be? These are questions that have puzzled humans for centuries, sparking debates and theories about the origins of our existence. One of the most well-known explanations for the origins of the universe is the Big Bang theory. According to this theory, the universe began as an infinitely small, hot, and dense point around 13.8 billion years ago. This point then rapidly expanded, leading to the formation of galaxies, stars, and planets over billions of years. The Big Bang theory is supported by a wealth of scientific evidence, including the discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation. Another theory about the origins of the universe i...
