The most current theory regarding the origin of the universe is the Big Bang Theory. This theory states that the universe began approximately 13.8 billion years ago with a single, intense and extremely hot point known as a singularity. As the universe expanded, it cooled and allowed matter and energy to exist, eventually leading to the formation of galaxies, stars, planets, and other objects.
