Life, the Universe and Everything (…else that we don’t have the ability to understand)

My niece has started asking questions about what existed before the universe, at the tender age of 6. It’s a pretty early start, so by the age of 26, I figure she may have either found a way to break through the mile thick concrete cell that she’s just put herself in, or hopefully she [...]
