A little over a century ago, a young Albert Einstein presented his general theory of relativity to the world and utterly transformed our understanding of the universe. His theory changed the way we think about space and time, revealed how our universe has been expanding from a hot, dense state called the big bang and predicted black holes. Where the Universe Came From is a 13.8 billiion-year journey through the cosmos.

When the Hadarak took over a world, they killed everything they came across in the way of animal life.

In the vast expanse of the cosmos, where swirling galaxies danced in an eternal ballet, existed two realities, ignorant of the other's touch.
