Description

Our everyday existence "in space and time" leads us to believe that these concepts are self-evident. An illusion, caused by the power of habit, collapses when humans attempt to measure the placement and timing of the Universe.

Then space ceases to be the absolute "something" within which things are located and move, and time stops traveling unidirectionally like an arrow moving from the past to the future through the "now," the present moment we experience.

As we observe the big bang and study the origin and evolution of the Universe, these concepts expand, contract, undergo distortions, both geometric and others, and spacetime intertwining, creating a magical image of the world, which is, however, necessary and more "realistic" for a deeper interpretation of phenomena and events in the cosmological environment.

So, an invitation for a journey into the Universe at speeds approaching the speed of light, a journey into the future that will keep us, metaphorically and literally, "forever" young compared to our "twin brothers" who will remain on Earth. Dare it!
