Hello all, In an astronomy lecture today my professor talked about inflationary theory. In this theory, prior to the Big Bang the universe had an extremely small volume, where the 4 universal forces (strong nuclear, weak nuclear, electromagnetic and gravitational) were unified as one force, meaning the laws of the universe as we know it currently did not necessarily apply. This unified force was split when the Big Bang occurred, resulting in the forces we now know. Sounds a little familiar to me. A single unified "force" (Adonalsium) that was split into multiple pieces (Shards). Does anyone know if Mr. Sanderson has studied cosmology? Or if he has said anything in the past about his inspiration for the Shattering of Adonalsium?

Greetings! This is my first post, so please bear with me if anything is not formatted correctly In an English course I am taking at University, we have an oppurtunity to write an analysis about a text we enjoy and are interested in. I've been devouring Sanderson's books lately, so naturally I want to do the assignment on one of his works. I was wondering what people think would be the best/ most interesting to analyze. The analysis will feature a brief summary of the text, and should focus on a theme or two that run throughout the piece (Keep in mind the paper can't be too long, ca. 1500 words). Thanks in advance to everyone who replies!
