The beginning of everything.

00:02

The Big Bang.

00:04

The idea that the universe was suddenly born and is not infinite.

00:09

Up to the middle of the 20th century, most scientists thought of the universe

00:13

as infinite and ageless.

00:16

Until Einstein’s theory of relativity gave us a better understanding of gravity,

00:21

and Edwin Hubble discovered that galaxies are moving apart from one another

00:25

in a way that fits previous predictions.

00:28

In 1964, by accident, cosmic background radiation was discovered,

00:33

a relic of the early universe,

00:35

which, together with other observational evidence, made the Big Bang

00:39

the accepted theory in science.

00:41

00:44

has given us a pretty good picture of the Big Bang and the structure of the cosmos.

00:49

00:53

is accelerating.

00:58

How can something come from nothing?

01:01

Let’s explore what we know.
