Big Bang theory evolves beyond singular point concept

npr.org — September 2, 2024, 09:00 PM UTC

Summary: Recent developments in cosmology have shifted the understanding of the Big Bang from a singular point in time to a more complex event. Researchers now explore various models, including the possibility of multiple Big Bangs and the role of quantum mechanics. This evolving perspective reflects ongoing efforts to comprehend the universe's origins and its early history, challenging traditional views popularized by figures like Stephen Hawking.
