Abstract

Cosmology is one area where there is no possibility to reproduce all of what we observe in experiments in laboratories on Earth. But what is real is there for all to see, in the depths of space. So what we do observe must be explained! To that end, scientists have woven an elaborate story about how the universe came to be, and why it is the way we observe it today. But our brave authors have not been afraid to ask “what if the story is not exactly as we were told?”
