Would you be surprised to learn that the same laws of physics operate across Earth, our solar system, and the Universe at large? These universal rules are helping us to gain greater understanding of the early Universe.
Professor David Wands, Director of the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation (ICG) is using these laws to study the whole Universe and see how it started. He wants to know the physics and physical processes occurring at the beginning of everything.
David and his colleagues in the ICG are using new technologies and techniques to look far out into the Universe. The further back he can see, the further back in time he travels – because he’ll see the Universe as it was millions or even billions of years ago.
