Universe from "summary" of The Disordered Cosmos by Chanda Prescod-Weinstein
The Universe is vast and complex, with countless galaxies, stars, planets, and other celestial bodies spread out across unimaginable distances. It is a place where the laws of physics govern everything that happens, from the smallest particles to the largest structures. Our understanding of the Universe has evolved over time, as scientists have made new discoveries and developed new theories to explain the phenomena they observe. From the early days of astronomy, when people believed that the Earth was at the center of everything, to the modern era of space exploration and cosmology, our knowledge of the Universe has grown exponentially. One of the most remarkable things about the Universe is its sheer size. The distances between objects in space are so vast that it can be difficult to comprehend them. Yet, despite this vastness, the Universe is also remarkably interconnected. Everything in the Universe is connected in some way, from the smallest subatomic particles to the largest galaxies. In addition to its size and interconnectedness, the Universe is also a place of constant change. Stars are born, live out their lives, and eventually die, ...
