1. The first is matter—stuff that has mass.
2. The second thing we need is energy.
3. The third thing we need to build a universe is space.

• Space itself is a vast store of negative energy. Enough to ensure that everything adds up to zero.
• The universe is like an enormous battery storing negative energy.
• It means that if the universe adds up to nothing, then we don’t need a God to create i...

• Stars supports itself against its own gravity through the creation of thermal pressure.
• Inside every star, a huge amount of energy is being generated through nuclear reactions (fusion) which convert hydrogen into helium.
• Eventually, a star ...

In quantum mechanics, particles do not possess well-defined positions and speeds. Rather, these values are represented by something called a wave function. 

A wave function is a set of numbers, each one representing a different point of space. The size of the wave function ...

• At the instant of the Big Bang , Time itself began 🤯.
• There was no time before the Big Bang.
• So there is no time for God to make the universe in.
• No one created the universe and no one directs our fat...

• Global warming might be Earth’s most immediate threat, but we also face a greater one: nuclear annihilation.
• Our planet could end up like the surface of Venus – a planet not known for its hospitable conditions (250 degree Celcius and evening showers of sulphuric acid).
• In th...

• Hawking discovered that black holes release particles at a steady rate ( Hawking Radiation).
• His theory argues that space is filled with particles and antiparticles. They’re in a constant process of bonding, separating and then annihilating one another.
• The ...

• It’s estimated that 20 percent of all stars have Earth-like planets orbiting them in the Goldilocks Zone . ( a region capable of sustaining life because it’s not too distant from its star to be an icy wasteland, but not close enough to fry its inhabitants)
• There are ...

• Space and energy can materialise out of nothing. The laws of physics demand the existence of something called “negative energy.”

Imagine a man wants to build a hill , To make this hill he digs a hole in the ground and uses that soil to dig his hill.

Laplace argued that if we knew the positions and speeds of all the universe’s particles, we could calculate their future behavior.

But Heisenberg discovered that due to the way , light waves are packaged into discrete units called quanta, “you cannot measure both the sp...

• In nanoseconds, the universe went from an infinitely dense point ( maybe smaller than a proton ) to a rapidly expanding body which continues to grow today.
• Evidence supporting such a theory first appeared in 1965, with the discovery of faint backgrou...

………suggests that “computers can double their speed and capacity every 18 months. If our gadgets keep following Moore’s law, AI may surpass human intelligence within the next hundred years, making the possibility of a self-aware Skynet less remote.”

• Einstein realised that two of the main ingredients needed to make a universe—mass and energy—are basically the same thing.🤯
• His famous equation E = mc^2 simply means that mass can be thought of as a kind of energy, and vice versa.
• So instead...

• ….. was a star so massive that it had collapsed in on itself.
• It’s so massive that not even light can escape its gravity, which is why it’s almost perfectly black.
• It’s gravitational pull is so powerful, it warps and distorts not only light but also...

• Most massive objects – like black holes – can warp space-time so violently that time itself stops.
• By following the “chain of causality” back to its furthest point, we can prove the Big Bang couldn’t have a cause because time didn’t exist.
