Fire in the Equations

- Did the universe have a beginning, if so when? Pg.95

- If a universe is expanding, even if it isn’t a Steady State universe, does that necessarily mean that everything in it was in the same place at some earlier time? Pg.100

- what if we turn around to study the past? Pg. 102

- how can we explain the fact that the universe has matter in it at all rather than being empty? Pg.103

- What has happened to all the antimatter that must have been produced at the same time? Pg. 103

- How do we explain the initial imbalance, be it ever so small, between matter and antimatter? Pg. 104

- How did a universe that started out so smooth get lumpy? Pg.105

- Does an expanding universe, even a Big Bang universe, necessarily have to be a universe with a singularity at its beginning? Pg 106

- What possible reason do you and I have for believing with them that this proposal could represent physical reality, that time really might have been like space, and that this scenario is not merely a mathematical fiction or an article of faith arising from a yearning for mathematical beauty and an explanation of the universe which doesn’t require a deus ex machina?
