Description:

The cosmos, a vast and mysterious expanse, has captivated the human imagination for centuries. From ancient civilizations gazing at the stars to modern scientists peering through telescopes, the desire to understand the universe and our place within it has been a constant driving force in our pursuit of knowledge. In this chapter, we begin our journey into the cosmos, exploring its origin, structure, and the fundamental forces that shape it. The origin of the universe is a topic that has intrigued scientists and philosophers alike. According to the widely accepted Big Bang theory, the universe began as an incredibly dense and hot point around 13.8 billion years ago. This singularity rapidly expanded, and over time, matter cooled, forming the stars, galaxies, and other cosmic structures we observe today. The formation of the universe marks the beginning of everything we know—space, time, and energy. As the universe continues to expand, we are left with the challenge of understanding its past and predicting its future. Gravity is one of the most important forces in the cosmos. It governs the motion of celestial bodies, from the smallest particles to the largest galaxies. Gravity pulls objects together, and it is responsible for the formation of stars, planets, and galaxies. The force of gravity also plays a crucial role in shaping the universe on a cosmic scale, influencing the way matter is distributed and the way galaxies cluster together. Without gravity, the universe as we know it would not exist. It is the force that holds everything together, from the Earth we live on to the farthest reaches of space. Duration - 1h 35m.
