Why is there something rather than nothing?This is the question that comes before all others—the one that stands at the edge of thought, language, and being.

It is about why anything exists at all.Before Being is a philosophical inquiry into the most fundamental mystery:...

Why is there something rather than nothing?Most answers to this question either speculate about what lies beyond experience or retreat into silence. After Nothingdoes neither.Beginning from what is simply here — a world that is structured, conscious, normative, and free — Don Howard reasons backward by strict transcendental argument to what the ground of reality must be like in order for such a world to exist. Not what it might be. Not what we might prefer it to be...

An authoritative interdisciplinary account of the historic discovery of gravitational wavesIn 1915, Albert Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves—ripples in the fabric of spacetime caused by the movement of large masses—as part of the theory of general relativity. A century later, researchers with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) confirmed Einstein's prediction, detecting gravitational waves generated by the collision ...

Why is there something rather than nothing? This question-older than science, deeper than theology-has haunted human thought for centuries. Most traditions set it aside, reframing or ignoring it as too strange to be held for long. Before Being refuses that evasion.Beginning from the stark premise of absolute nothingness-the absence of space, time, law, or potential-the book considers two radically different paths by which being might arise. The first asks whether existence could em...
