The Universe. Concise Answers to Incomprehensible Questions

The Starmus Science Festival was held for the first time in 2011, and since then, it has become a tradition for leading scientists, celebrities in the field of astronautics and music, united by their passion for popularizing knowledge about Earth and space, to participate in it. The founder of the festival and astrophysicist Garik Israelian created an expert council that included remarkable individuals such as astrophysicist and rock musician Brian May, evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, discoverer of microwave radiation Robert Wilson, theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, cosmonaut Alexei Leonov, chemist and Nobel Prize winner Harold Kroto, and others. This book collects lectures from scientists who have spent many years working to recreate the past of the universe and present its structure. They will introduce the boldest theories, some of which have been tested and proven, while others are still awaiting experimental verification, which is currently inaccessible due to the stage of technological development.
Those who have managed to depict the future of the universe, our planet, and ourselves based on modern data will also voice their thoughts on these pages.
