\n OBJECTIVES<\/span>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\n

Over the centuries, the history of cosmology has evolved through models that either complement or contradict each other. By expanding our knowledge and inquiries, these models shape our worldview and our understanding of the forces that structure the Universe. In 1915, Einstein’s theory of general relativity superseded Newton’s theory. Today, quantum physics, with its probabilistic and non-local characteristics, challenges several classical concepts and revolutionizes our representation of the Universe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
