Of all the questions we can conceive of about the Universe, perhaps the grandest one of all is to ask where it all came from in the first place? This isn’t an easy question, because in order to understand where something came from, we have to first know precisely what it is. Similarly, we also have to understand the laws of physics well enough to be able to calculate the outcome of a physical system that begins with a specific set of initial conditions. Only from those starting points can we identify the possible avenues for how things got to be the way they are today and to figure out which ones make predictions that agree with the Universe we inhabit.
However, the remarkable thing about considering this is the following: no matter when in the past or the future we would’ve asked this question, taking a scientific approach to it would always yield the same cosmic story. Today, we’ve pushed the frontiers back incredibly far, having identified the origin of the planets, stars, elements, atoms, and more. We’ve discovered overwhelming evidence for the hot Big Bang and even information that takes us before that stupendous instant of creation. Despite all we know, there are some epic unknowns that have no solution at present. Here’s where we are today.
