There are two main theories on the creation of theUniverse. One is the Steady State Theory, championed by Sir Fred Hoyle, Thomas Gold, Hermann Bondi and others. The other is the more well-known theory known as the Big Bang Theory. ...
Figure 1. Abbé Georges Lemaître (1894–1966):This Belgian cosmologist studied theology at Mechelen and mathematics and physics at the University of Leuven. It was there that he began to explore the expansion of the universe and postulated its explosive beginning. He actually predicted Hubble’s...

The concept of the BEGINNING of the Universe as a specific event in the past is deeply rooted in many religions and was discussed by the ancient philosophers.However,Hubble’s discovery suggested something profoundly different.In mythology,the BEGINNING of the Universe was a one-time event,...
Of course, there are tenseless theories of change and perhaps one could utilize a tenseless theory of change to construct a tenseless conception of the beginning of time. Whatever one might think of the attempt to develop an account of the beginning of time utilizing a tenseless theory of chang...
We have two extraordinarily effective theories of the universe: quantum physics and general relativity. Quantum physics has produced a successful description of three of the four fundamental forces of nature (electromagnetism, the weak force and the strong force) down to microscopic scales. General ...

In his previous book, "The Fabric of Reality", Deutsch describes the four deepest strands of existing knowledge - the theories of evolution, quantum physics, knowledge, and computation-arguing jointly they reveal a unified fabric of reality. In this new book, he applies that worldview to a ...
theories, even those considered foundational.Deutsch points to Einstein's General Relativity as a prime example, arguing that it did not simply build upon Newton's theory of gravity but offered a completely new and more accurate explanation of the universe. This ability to completely replace ...
