When Science Becomes Metaphysics: Paul Steinhardt's Cosmic Boundary

Follows Chapter 3's 'Introduction to Cosmological Metaphysics'—laying the M.E.T.A. Physics foundation before this applied case study in cosmic-existential synthesis.

Beyond the Big Bang: Existential Dilemmas at Cosmology's Edge

Eternal Significance in an Infinite Cosmos: Bridging Physics & Philosophy

In this pivotal Chapter 3 segment, Dr. Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander dissects Paul Steinhardt's provocative claim: 'Untestable theories cross from science into metaphysics.'

Exploring cosmology's collision with existential philosophy, we examine:
- Dark matter's empirical grip vs. metaphysical 'nothingness' before the Big Bang

- Human meaning in an infinite universe (Does significance vanish in limitless space?)

- Cosmic fate scenarios (**Big Freeze vs. Big Crunch**) and their consciousness implications

- Why dark energy's expansion forces us to confront time's illusion

> A masterclass in weaving empirical threads (cosmology) with philosophical inquiry (metaphysics) to confront reality's ultimate mysteries
