What if the most important thing about the universe isn't an answer-but a question?The First Question takes teenage readers on a journey from the origins of the cosmos to the emergence of life, consciousness, meaning, connection, hope, and the future of humanity.Blending science, philosophy, psychology, astrophysics, evolution, and artificial intelligence, EPAPA Teens: Book 1 - The First Question explores some of humanity's biggest mysteries without turning them into a textbook. Instead, ideas unfold through stories, thought experiments, visual explorations, and questions designed to make readers stop, wonder, and think for themselves.Why does anything exist? How did matter become conscious enough to question itself? Where does meaning come from? And what might humanity become next?This is not a book that promises all the answers.It is an invitation to become better at asking the questions.
