Full course description
Description
Embark on a cosmic journey as we explore the nature and evolution of our amazing Universe. Travel nearly 14 billion years back in time to the Big Bang and see how the Universe emerges from an initial extremely hot and dense state, and evolves into the cosmic web of stars and galaxies we see today. Along the way, we encounter mysterious phenomena such as black holes, dark matter, dark energy, and explore the possible future fate of our Universe.
