Abstract:
The story of our Universe, from the beginning to its end, has always
intrigued mankind throughout history.  Trying to address some of the
really big questions about the structure of the Universe - how big is
it? how old is it? how did the Universe begin and what is its possible
fate? - we have come a long way towards understanding the structure and
dynamics of our Universe.  Starting with the age-old question of
`why is the night sky dark?', this talk will present a brief journey
through the Universe, from the beginning to its possible ultimate
fate, painted with a broad brush.  What we know about the expansion
and age of the Universe, the standard Big Bang Model cosmology and what
are the present-day evidences for it, what is the possible nature of
Dark Matter and Dark Energy, are some of the topics that we will
cover in this non-technical presentation.
