The Beginning refers to the initial phase of the universe, often described by the Big Bang theory. This event, which occurred approximately 13.8 billion years ago, marks the point when all matter and energy were concentrated in a singularity before rapidly expanding. This expansion led to the formation of galaxies, stars, and planets over billions of years. In many cultures, The Beginning is also depicted in creation myths, where deities or natural forces bring the world into existence. These stories vary widely but often explain the origins of humanity, nature, and the cosmos, reflecting the values and beliefs of different societies.
