Have you seen NASA’s incredible photos from the Spitzer telescope of what scientists believe to be the universe shortly after the Big Bang more than 13 billion years ago? There was a time in my college career when I briefly considered pursuing a major in astronomy because the “origins issues” have always fascinated me. For the record, I quickly found that my long-standing inability to do math would make achieving success as an astronomer, shall we say, unlikely. Anyway, if this photo does indeed show original matter shortly after the birth of the universe, the obvious question is: Was the matter “there” beforethe Big Bang or did it come into existence via the Big Bang?
