Let's explore the Universe!
How did it all start? How was our Universe created? What were the initial conditions? Were there any conditions at all? Is our observable Universe just one patch of many in a much larger universe beyond our reach? Is our Universe unique? Did it pop out of nowhere? Will it expand forever or come crashing down at some point? Did it bubble forth from a bustling region of minute fluctuations? Has the Universe already been around for an eternity?
Cosmologists have been pondering about such questions for decades. To shed light on their work and get a more solid grasp on the moment when the Universe was being started up, my latest article "The Quantum Origins of Our Universe" digs into their research and spends time with three theoretical frameworks in particular: Chaotic Eternal Inflation, the Cyclic Model, and the No Boundary Proposal.
Have a great time reading!
