Plot summary
Astronomers have begun one of the most far-reaching efforts to study the cosmos. They are forging giant new telescopes, while marshaling vast computational power. These technologies are part of a historic quest: to peer into space and time, to find out how the universe gave birth to galaxies and planets, to discern the amazing world of gravity and test theories by Einstein and other scientists.

The equations of general relativity let us calculate backwards, very close to the beginning, but at that point, there is a singularity, making the maths go awry. So far, various attempts at quantum gravity have been dead-ends; GR's true successor would let us model exactly what went on there. And, if Penrose's cyclic model is correct, the universe may have extended from a previous iteration where, in its far future, everything broke down, including length and time scales.
