Origin of the Universe: Did you know the cosmos started from a single point? Another surprise — it is still expanding faster than the speed of light

About 13.8 billion years ago, the origin of the universe began with the Big Bang. Scientists say all space, time, matter, and energy emerged from a tiny, dense point. Today, the universe is still expanding. Data from Hubble and Planck missions confirms this. Galaxies move away as cosmic expansion stretches space. The Hubble constant near 70 km/s/Mpc measures this growth. At vast distances, expansion appears faster than light because space itself expands. The universe now spans about 93 billion light-years.
