What was there before the Big Bang?
The answers provided by science and religionsBy Franklin Díaz
Length4h 35m
About this audiobook
What existed before the Big Bang?
Could the universe have emerged from nothing, or was there a cause that made its existence possible?
After publishing "The Mathematical Certainty of God's Existence", Franklin Díaz dedicated himself to an in-depth study of the answers to these questions, taking notes on every scientific theory and religious tradition that had dared to explore them before him. This book was born from that study.
Written in language accessible to a general audience, it covers everything from Einstein’s relativity and the theorems of Hawking and Penrose to the multiverse and quantum gravity, alongside the perspectives of the Judeo-Christian tradition, Hinduism, and Buddhism regarding creation and the "First Cause."
An invitation to look beyond the origin of the universe—and, in the process, discover something more about your own existence.
