Along with several others that are just as important. I like Neil and what he had to say at this conferrence, he is very interesting.

Actually, I think the universe has always "been" and that the Milky Way had its own Big Bang rather then the Universe as a whole. When our Sun came into existence, that was the "Big Bang" for us and probly for all the other planetary systems. If not the Suns ignition that started our Solar System, then the Mily Ways...
