Episode 2: The Big Bang Theory (before TV)
We explore the final frontier, starting with the Big Bang Theory, followed by the creation of our solar system, then the humble beginnings of our planet, including a rough encounter with the moon about 4.5 billion years ago, and ending with a discussion of what Earth looked like in its nascent state.
