Think about it: The Universe is infinite and all-encompassing. But once upon a time it did not exist. So what was there before it? Was it really emptiness? But how did everything emerge from emptiness? And is it true that there can be infinitely many universes? With the help of this book, you will embark on a journey through time and see what the Universe looked like just a millionth of a trillionth of a trillion trillionth of a second after its creation. Along the way, you will learn what black holes, particles and antiparticles, and the Higgs boson are, and much more. You will be able to understand what the world's most famous formula, E=mc², means, what a world with twenty dimensions might be like, what happened on September 14, 2015, why the Universe resembles a blueberry pie, and how to bake such a pie. And although this book explains far from everything, it will teach you to ask the right questions. And asking the right question is the first step on the path to an answer that you might be the one to find.
