The universe is expanding, but how long has the expansion been going on? Will it expand forever, or collapse in a Big Crunch, a Big Bang in reverse? From Aristotle to Newton, Einstein to Quantum Mechanics, Introducing The Universe recounts the revolutions in physics and astronomy that underlie the present-day picture of the universe.
