80 billion trillion miles from home, 13 and a half billion years ago.
The very instant of the Big Bang, the most violent, most creative moment in history.
Everything that's ever happened follows from this moment.
This is it.
We've made it.
Every religion, every culture has pondered it.
But we still don't know what sparked this act of creation or why.
This is where our journey ends.
And the universe begins.
This is where our journey ends.
This is where our journey begins.
Every religion, every culture has pondered it.
But we still don't know what sparked this act of creation or why.
This is where our journey ends.
An infinitely hot, small, dense point erupts.
Creating space, time, matter, our universe itself.
First it's the size of a subatomic particle.
Moments later, it's the size of the Earth.
Today the light from the Big Bang is still spreading out.
You can hear it as a radio hiss.
See it as television static.
The universe begins.
As a particle.
More that it's size.
And more than that.
And more than that.
And more than that.
And more than that.
And more than that.
And more than that.
And more than that.
And more than that.
