In classical science, the cosmos was like an eternal clockwork that could be described in terms of geometrical structures like elliptic orbits. This framework is gradually giving way to an evolutionary view of our cosmos which has started with the singularity of the Big Bang and in which new celestial structures form and have to maintain themselves. The Big Bang theory is now confirmed but there are still many questions, particularly concerned with what happened before the Big Bang (if this question makes sense at all), or with the formation of galaxies.
This program focuses on the most fundamental questions of physics and cosmology: the origin of space/time, elementary particles and quantum mechanics, the possible existence of alternative universes and the evolutionary nature of our universe. One of the main questions will be whether our solar system is stable or could also suddenly find itself in a chaotic regime.
