Questions they explore include whether we inhabit a multiverse, if we have free will, how the universe was created, and the nature of love.

The foundation encourages civil, informed dialogue among scientists, philosophers, theologians, and the public at large. It values perspectives from grantees, journalists, and staff contributors on topics that inspire awe and wonder. The foundation offers grants in support of research and public engagement in major funding areas.
