When Albert Einstein proposed his now-famous Theory on General Relativity, the world of physics entered a frenzy that many say has yet to quell. The science that was proposed at the time suggested simple correlations, but in a way that carried tremendous implications for how our Universe is organized, and how it func... |

The Big Bang is at this point the most widely accepted theory on the beginning of the Universe. It states that everything around us, plus dark matter and dark energy, emerged from a singularity, a powerful event that took place about 13.7 billion years ago. While its outcome is largely known today, as in the galaxies... |
