They need more room. To make string theory work, our universe needs a few extra dimensions, all tiny and curled up on themselves, where the strings can do their business and give rise to physics.

Forget one Big Bang — try many. A bold new theory pokes holes in the popular origin story, suggesting the universe evolves through a series of lightning-fast bursts, rewriting what we know about ...

In a nutshell, the universe began as an extremely hot and dense point that inflated over roughly 13.8 billion years, becoming bigger and colder. That's the Big Bang theory.

The universe is such a wonderfully rich and complex place that the discovery of the final theory, in the sense we are describing here, would not spell the end of science.
