In this episode of 5 Min With... at XPANSE 2024, Oindrila Majumar, Author of Astrophysics For Young Minds, sits down with Dr. David Sloan, Chief Scientific Officer at the Foundational Questions Institute and theoretical cosmologist at Lancaster University. Dr. Sloan explores how cosmology offers more than equations; it provides a shared human story. He discusses how mathematical models suggest the Big Bang might not be the beginning, but a point we can move through, and how the mystery of increasing entropy challenges our understanding of time.
