The evidence for the Big Bang is overwhelming, yet we cannot truly describe what happens in that event. We cannot even call it a moment because time as we know it did not exist. Our science stops making sense a fraction of a second after it begins. The equations simply fail. But what if there were a way to push them not only to their limits but beyond? That is what researchers are now trying to do. The rest of this article is behind a paywall. Please sign in or subscribe to access the full content.

A team at the Foundational Questions Institute is using complex computer simulations to solve Einstein’s equations numerically. This method is often used to solve equations and problems that have no generalized solution, such as the famous three-body problem . While relativity has exact solut
