The Big Questions

At times, the biggest questions about human existence seem difficult to broach. For topics like the origins of our universe and what happens when we die, it can even be difficult to separate opinions from scientific fact. The Big Questions series tackles some of the most complex yet fundamental topics in human history. Is there life beyond our universe? How do genes shape the human experience? Do aliens exist? Titles in this series present information about these topics in a way that challenges readers to think critically and form their own opinions.
