For millennia, humans struggled to make sense of what\'s out there in the Universe, from all we can see to that which lies beyond the limits of even our most powerful telescopes.

Touching on not only what we know but also how we know it, Ethan Siegel takes us to the very frontiers of modern astrophysics and cosmology, from the birth of our Universe to its ultimate fate, and everything in between.
