The Origin of the Universe

Annotation One of the most profound, enduring and fascinating questions in all of science is that of how time, space, and matter began. This introduction guides us on a journey to the beginning of time, into a world of temperatures and densities so high that we cannot recreate them in a laboratory. It reviews speculative theories about the nature of time and the inflationary universe, explains wormholes, showing how they bear upon the fact of our own existence, and considers whether there was a singularity at the inception of the universe
