What happened during the Big Bang and what does the future of the universe look like? The evolution of the universe is the top topic in astronomy. Famous physicists such as Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking have devoted themselves to the subject of cosmology, the Hubble telescope has looked to the edge of the cosmos, and precise measurements have refined our picture.
Astrophysicist Dr Felicitas Mokler traces the historical development of cosmology, classifies the associated world views and brings us up to date with the latest research in a comprehensive and understandable way.
