  How did the universe begin? This is one of the questions that science has struggled to answer during its impossible search for the theory to end all theories . But what if there isn't such a single theory? Following the success of Black Holes: the End of the Universe? , this book is an attempt to tackle the problem of what is certain in humankind's knowledge of the universe and where that certainty can lead to. Beginning with the impossible conundrum of the title, the author conducts a descriptive tour through the natural world and the world of living things before considering the nature of the universe as an explicable object.
