The effort to understand and explain the universe has always been one of the greatest intellectual challenges to mankind since the dawn of civilisation. As physicist Stephen Weinberg said, "The effort to understand the universe is one of the very few things that lifts human life a little above the level of farce, and gives it some of the grace of tragedy".Story of the Universe, part of the series Quest for Origin, takes us through a delightful journey of intellectual discovery to the origin of the universe and its subsequent developments till the evolution of life on Earth. Springing into existence from a formless void some 13.7 billion years ago, the story of the evolution of the universe is a fascinating voyage through the depths of time and space that takes us to the frontiers of human knowledge.
