A leading cosmologist explains our current understanding of space and timeThere was immense excitement in the scientific community and among the general public when the COBE space probe sent back data that proved not only that the Big Bang had happened but also that it had happened at more or less exactly the time that astronomers had calculated.
This is a partial summary of the ongoing quest by mankind to understand who he is, where he came from, how he relates to what hissenses tell him about his physical and social environment.
