Universe as Story

The universe as a story is an analogy that describes the universe’s history as a continual, unfolding narrative. It began with the Big Bang, like a dramatic opening, and has since evolved through a series of events—forming galaxies, stars, planets, and life. Just as a story has characters and chapters, the universe has structures and epochs, each building on the last. This perspective helps us see cosmic development as a coherent, evolving saga, connecting the vastness of space and time into a meaningful unfolding of existence from the universe’s origin to today.
