"We create the Universe as much as it creates us." - Stephen
Hawking & Thomas Hertog How did the Universe begin? Will it
ever end? The cosmos and Man's place in it have fascinated humans
for thousands of years. These mind-bending cosmic questions keep
scientists awake at night, but also fuel the imagination and
fantasy of artists. This unique book combines the insights of
scientists and visual artists, offering a magnificent overview of
the visualisation of the Universe from the Neolithic to the
present. In addition, dozens of stunning modern and contemporary
artworks engage in a dialogue with the Big Bang theory in its
various forms. Professor Georges Lemaitre formulated his
revolutionary theory about the origin of the Universe in 1931 at
the University of Leuven. In 2021, our ideas about this Big Bang
and the cosmos as a whole are still evolving. Our astonishment and
desire to visualise what we are unable to comprehend fully,
however, remain unchanged. With enlightening contributions from
Barbara Baert, Abdelkader Benali, Thomas Hertog, Hannah Redler
Hawes, Jan Van der Stock, Annelies Vogels, and others.
