This may lead to a better understanding of the most commonly accepted theory about the creation of the Universe

Big Bang theory is considered as the leading explanation behind the creation of the Universe. For the most part, though, it still remains a mystery — All we “know” is that the Cosmos started from a singularity roughly 13.8 billion years ago with a massive explosion. The universe has inflated & cooled off significantly since then to the present day.
We still have no idea what caused the explosion. And based on the current instruments, we can’t go back to the peek into the Universe’s birth. The only thing that we can go by is the mathematical calculations & models. However, astronomers can see at the leftover radiation from the Big Bang through a phenomenon known as the cosmic microwave background.
