Ask Ethan: Did our Universe really arise from nothing?

The more curious we get about the great cosmic unknowns, the more unanswered questions our investigations of the Universe will reveal. Inquiring about the nature of anything - where it is, where it came from, and how it came to be - will inevitably lead you to the same great mysteries: about the ultimate nature and origin of the Universe and everything in it.
