Journey to the beginning. Investigate the forces, particles, and paradoxes that shaped everything we know—and everything we’ve yet to imagine.

A new wave of observations is reshaping our picture of the cosmos's earliest moments. From gravitational waves to primordial gas maps, researchers are weaving together clues that illuminate how the universe emerged from its first flicker of existence.

An unprecedented array of instruments-from infrared space telescopes to gravitational-wave detectors and neutrino observatories-is converging on the universe's earliest moments. Cutting-edge data and theory are weaving a richer narrative of how space, time, and matter emerged from primordial chaos.

Scientists are weaving together faint neutrino whispers and the cosmic infrared glow to probe the universe's infancy. New detectors, space telescopes, and machine-learning techniques promise a fresh window into the first fractions of a second after the Big Bang.

Scientists are charting innovative routes to peer deeper into the universe's origins, from refined cosmic microwave background measurements to gravitational-wave observatories. With breakthroughs in quantum gravity models and citizen science initiatives, the quest to decode the first instants after the Big Bang is more dynamic than ever.

A wave of new observations from space telescopes, ground-based experiments and theoretical advances is reshaping our picture of the universe's earliest instants. From refined cosmic microwave background maps to emerging gravitational wave signals, scientists are piecing together fresh evidence about how everything began.

A convergence of advanced telescopes, gravitational wave observatories, and particle detectors is shedding unprecedented light on the universe's earliest seconds. As astronomers and physicists collaborate across disciplines, new data are refining our picture of how space, time, and the building blocks of matter emerged from primordial conditions.

Scientists are weaving quantum mechanics, gravitational waves, and advanced simulations into a richer narrative of how our cosmos emerged from an infinitesimal point. By listening to the faintest echoes and modeling the earliest instants, researchers are revealing unexpected connections between the subatomic realm and the grand cosmic tapestry.

Recent observations have extended our view into the cosmic dawn, unveiling details of the universe's first galaxies and deepening debates over the nature of cosmic expansion. Advances in space telescopes, gravitational wave detectors, and collaborative citizen science projects are shaping a richer understanding of how our universe began.
