about

Where does beauty come from? Did we invent it, or was it always here - a property of the universe? At this moment, astronomers and particle physicists are drawing closer and closer to an explanation of our beginnings: how the universe transitioned from nothing into something. Perhaps, in the interaction of quantum chaos and physical laws, the seeds of beauty can be found.
