Course Description
We get up in the morning and get busy in our activities without even noticing that the planet on which we walk is moving in a vast space, surrounded by many other planets, galaxies, clusters, comets and what not. Our universe is a mystery. From the origins to space, time, formation of galaxies, formation of stars, etc., it is full of unlimited riddles.
Take for example, time itself. We all use watch, but what exactly is time? It is a great puzzle equally for scientists and philosophers from many centuries. From our single cell in our bodies to the vast planets and galaxies, they all move in time, but we do not know what time is. Similarly, many other riddles we encounter while exploring our wonderful universe.
And the biggest question of all the questions in the universe, why this universe at all? So in this video course, scientists and scholars from various academic institutions from India and abroad will explore the secrets of the universe from modern scientific understanding as well as from ancient spiritual wisdom.
Welcome and let us explore our mysterious universe.
“… if we see the structure of the universe as having really remarkable characteristics, it seems to suggest that there is a purpose…. if we understand the structure and how it works very well, then that may give us some hints as to the purpose of the universe. If we understand the purpose, then that should probably say how it is structured.”
