Can we peer into the moments before the Big Bang?
While the early universe is well-documented, the era preceding the Big Bang remains a profound mystery. This video explores the limits of our current cosmic understanding.
Our scientific models of the universe are remarkably robust, accurately describing an extremely hot, dense, and rapidly expanding state as defined by Einstein’s equations. This description holds true down to approximately a trillionth of a second after the beginning of time, with even more educated guesses possible as far back as 10^-30th of a second. However, the period preceding this expansion remains an area of intense inquiry.
