The Story of Our Universe: An Introduction to Cosmology is a four-week course covering 13.8 billion years of history.
The universe is old. Really old. If its entire history were crammed into one 24-hour day, the first humans wouldn’t arrive until 23:59!
Together we’ll explore this fascinating history. You’ll learn what the early universe was like, how stars and galaxies formed, and how black holes and dark matter work.
You’ll also learn how this story ends—a big freeze where the universe accelerates into a cold and lonely infinitude of nothingness, a big rip where the fabric of spacetime is torn apart at the seams, or something else entirely.
The course is filled with sublime photographs and vivid explanations which are guaranteed to inspire awe, even in the deepest cynic.
With instruction from one of Australia’s leading cosmologists, as well as a community of like-minded peers, you’ll finish this course with a deeper appreciation of our universe’s grandiosity.
Join us as we venture deep into spacetime.
