2 | The Birth of the Universe

How did the universe begin? Was it a divine creation, a quantum glitch, or a line of alien code? In this episode, co-hosts Saahil and Cary explore the origin of everything—from the dramatic Big Bang and cosmic inflation to the mind-bending simulation hypothesis. We dive into philosophical questions like whether the laws of physics existed before the universe and whether “nothing” can really create something. This episode lays the foundation for our entire podcast series. Join us at the very beginning—where time, matter, and meaning all collide.
