According to the most widely-accepted theory of origins, at some point, roughly 14 billion years ago, everything that is, was, and will ever be, was tightly packed into a small, but infinitely dense point—a singularity. This 'point' eventually exploded, which ultimately hurdled everything we see into existence (of course, we're condensing here). However, to many physicists, 13.7 billion years just isn't […]
