A new theory suggests our universe and a time-reversed twin could emerge together. This quantum approach avoids singularities ...

Immeasurably hot and dense, that which would become our Universe was crammed into a volume just a tiny fraction the size of a proton. During the first picosecond of time (10⁻¹² seconds ...

Theoretical physicists James Hartle and Stephen Hawking, for example, proposed that rather than having a strict beginning as we would understand it, the universe evolved out of a "no-boundary" state ...
