Trivia: Did Einstein or Galileo discover the Relativity Principle?
Relativity
Galileo Galilei showed that constant motion is undetectable. That physics works the same on a smooth ship or solid ground. Isaac Newton made gravity universal. Centuries later, Albert Einstein extended Galileo’s insight. Einstein revealed that space and time are intertwined. Energy is matter, and gravity is the very fabric of spacetime itself.

The Architecture of the Cosmos
From particles to galaxy clusters.
The universe is not random. Matter organizes into patterns — stars, galaxies, clusters, and vast cosmic filaments stretching across billions of light-years. Gravity sculpts structure from early density fluctuations, while dark matter forms the invisible framework holding galaxies together. This section explores how the universe builds itself, layer by layer, from the smallest scales to the largest structures we can observe.
