In this book we explore great cosmic mysteries
still beyond the reach of established science:
-
What came before our universe?
-
How was our universe created?
-
Is our universe all that exists?
-
If not, what lies beyond?
-
Are there other universes?
-
Is the origin of life inevitable or miraculous?
We may
never have objective evidence to definitively answer any of these
questions. Nonetheless, they remain some of the most intriguing
mysteries of our existence, and merit thoughtful consideration.

Russian-American
physicist Andre Linde independently conceived the theory of Eternal
Inflation. In Linde’s theory, quantum fluctuations, such as the one
that created our universe, are continually occurring and creating new
universes in various locations, at various times, as illustrated above.
All these individual universes exist within a larger, all-encompassing
entity: the multiverse.
