From the origin of the Universe to the first building blocks of life
Research Units (RUs), Connectors (CNs) and Infrastructures of ORIGINS. White dots mark the links between CNs and RUs and Infrastructures. New CNs and Infrastructures are marked by asterisks.
The five big questions of ORIGINS
What are the fundamental forces and structures?
How did our Universe form and evolve?
How did the cosmic network with its galaxies, stars and planets come into being?
How did the building blocks of the Universe evolve from simple atoms to prebiotic molecules?
How did life on Earth come into being and is there life in space elsewhere?
