Learning unit contents
The way humans conceive of the Universe depends on scientific advances, but also on the prevailing philosophical conceptions in a given civilisation. We will see how these conceptions of the Universe have evolved over the course of history. We will then see how current science allows us to understand it, from galaxies to the expanding Universe, from the Big Bang to parallel universes. Finally, we will look at the major issues that currently affect the scientific community around cosmology.
