The Roman writer Lucretius, who lived circa 55 B.C., wrote a radically secular creation story, in which he describes the universe as made of an infinite number of atoms.
Now, the special conditions that made mummification possible are giving scientists a chance to explain how the universe acquired the solidity that made life possible in the first place. It will be a key scientific milestone.
"We want to know how a hot, fluid universe turned into one with galaxies and stars and planets and continents and. eventually, people," says UK astronomer Dr Paul Murdin.
The planetary systems are in the deepest recesses of our galaxy and probe the early universe's 'Dark Ages', when dust obscured the cosmos and the first stars flickered into existence. Unique knowledge is expected to flow from

Scientists are now satisfied they know about the universe's birth, and about its childhood. But they still need to learn about its early infancy thirteen billion years ago.
Field continues, "In other words, telescopes are time machines. They have shown us what the universe was like ten billion years ago, how it evolved during its childhood."
The Big Bang theory says our universe was created when a tiny mass (billions X smaller than a proton) exploded and began expanding very rapidly into the stars and galaxies of today.

The Big Bang theory says our universe was created when a tiny (billions X smaller than a proton), super-dense, super-hot mass exploded and began expanding very rapidly, eventually cooling into the stars and galaxies of today.
