Travelling to Origins
The beginnings of the universe and life
Ultimately, exploration of the cosmos is an investigation into humanity and the limits of knowledge. Studying black holes and the big bang brings us closer to the origins of the universe, while the search for extraterrestrial life obliges us to think about what life really is. What do the recent detection of gravitational waves and the latest discoveries about exoplanets tell us about these big questions?
