We don't know how the universe began, and we will never know

10/23/2022

This blog post discusses the current state of our understanding of the origins of the universe. The author emphasizes that despite significant advancements in cosmology, we still do not have a definitive answer as to how the universe began. The post explores various theories and hypotheses about the origin of the universe, including the Big Bang theory, inflationary cosmology, and quantum fluctuations. It acknowledges that while these theories provide insight into the early moments of the universe, they also raise new questions and uncertainties. The author argues that it is important to acknowledge the limits of our current knowledge and to remain open to new ideas and discoveries in order to further our understanding of the universe's beginnings.
