I'm sure that's the case. I've read a few things about it myself, but I wouldn't try to relate that here as I don't think I could do it any justice.

If you're really interested, I highly suggest reading "A Breif History of Time", "A Briefer History of Time", and "The Universe in a Nutshell", all writen by Stephen Hawking.

"Briefer" builds and elaborates on some of the comments on "Brief" and as is pointed out in the foreword, it really should be called "A Less Breif History of Time", and "The Universe.." basically covers the same topics, but in a bit of a different, and probably easier format.

All great books, and written so the average person can read and understand them.
