[Music] in the beginning there was nothing well except for you and the big bang [Music] what would the first moments of the universe be like what would happen over the next thousands of years and would anyone believe you this is what if and here's what would happen if you were alive during the big bang what's the last dumpling ah the big bang theory no not the tv show i'm talking about the most popular story about the earliest moments in the history of the universe according to this theory the universe emerged from a single point nearly 14 billion years ago this point known as a singularity would have been infinitely dense from this singularity the entire universe expanded eventually cooling down enough to form stars galaxies and planets like the one you are on now and our universe is still expanding today that's one of the most compelling pieces of evidence supporting the big bang theory so let's travel back to a time where it all began but before we take this trip in our spaceship we need to get some food together you don't want to be eating dehydrated food every day out here well that's why i use factor factor delivers fresh never frozen meals created by a team of gourmet chefs and each meal is ready to go within minutes there's no prep and no mess it's just heat eat and enjoy you know in this cold weather i love the spicy turkey poblano bowl anything with poblano peppers and anything called spicy is right up my alley and factor even lets me craft my future orders from my taste preferences and my meal history with more than 27 meals and 33 add-on options every week there's something for everyone no matter what diet you're on head to go. factor75. com what if 120 and use the code what if 120 to get 120 off that's go go.
