Run the history of the universe backward and the cosmos becomes hotter, denser, and more extreme.
Eventually, our equations reach a boundary known as the Planck regime, where gravity and quantum physics can no longer be treated separately. Beyond that frontier, familiar ideas about space, time, and even the beginning of the universe become uncertain.
Did time truly begin with the Big Bang? Was there something before it? Or does the word before stop making physical sense?
In this episode of Where Physics Ends, we travel toward the earliest moment our current theories can approach and discover why the beginning of everything remains one of physics greatest unfinished problems.
