How did the universe come to exist?

The Big Bang was the moment 13.8 billion years ago when the universe began as a tiny, dense, fireball that exploded. Most astronomers use the Big Bang theory to explain how the universe began. The matter that spread out from the Big Bang developed into everything in the universe, including you.

How do we know about the universe?

“The Hubble Constant sets the scale of the Universe, both its size and its age.” It helps to think about the Universe like a balloon being blown up. As the stars and galaxies, like dots on a balloon’s surface, move apart from each other more quickly, the greater the distance is between them.

When was the universe discovered?

So it is with one of the most extraordinary dates in the history of science, January 1, 1925. You could describe it as a day when nothing remarkable happened, just the routine reading of a paper at a scientific conference.

How long has the universe been around?

The universe is nearly 14 billion years old, our solar system is 4.6 billion years old, life on Earth has existed for maybe 3.8 billion years, and humans have been around for only a few hundred thousand years. In other words, the universe has existed roughly 56,000 times longer than our species has.

Is there an explanation for why the universe exists?

Most of them provide no explanation at all, have little or no evidence to support them, seem wildly improbable. But the “God” explanation is at least based on logic and our common experience of cause and effect. It provides an explanation of why the universe exists.

How can we make a universe that allows for humans?

In order to make a Universe that allows for humans, therefore, we can conclude what’s required. Lithium arises from a mixture of three sources, but it turns out that one particular channel, classical novae, is likely responsible for practically all (~80\%+) of the lithium out there. Perhaps surprisingly, the answer is all of these.

Is there more than one universe in the universe?

It began with the big bang almost 14 billion years ago. But many cosmologists now believe there are other “universes”, and perhaps our universe arose from one of them. The whole group of universes, if there are indeed more than one, is commonly called the multiverse.
