    Description
    Explores how modern advances in human understanding of the physical nature of the universe -- relativity, quantum mechanics, and cosmology -- show that the universe often radically defies intuition. Demonstrates how behavior of the universe extends far beyond expectations derived from daily experiences. Topics include: black holes; curved spacetime; and origin and fate of the universe.
