What if the Big Bang wasn’t the beginning?

From Sunday Morning, 11:06 am on 1 June 2025

We’re joined by theoretical physicist Niayesh Afshordi—professor at the University of Waterloo and associate faculty at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics—and science communicator Phil Halper, a fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society whose stunning astronomy images have appeared in The Washington Post, BBC, and The Guardian.  

Together, they’ve co-authored Battle of the Big Bang New Tales of Our Cosmic Origins, a book that challenges the boundaries of what we think we know about the origins of the Universe.
