Cosmological expansion of the galaxies according to
Einsteins theory (see above) suggests that the universecould
have started with the Big-Bang.
The gravitational waves background was created soon after the
Big-Bang. Its discoverycould be the next prove for the reality of
the event. The gravitational waves are also
produced in astrophysical phenomena such as: coalescing binaries
of the neutron starsand the black holes. There exists a space
project LISA to detect such waves (see above).

Szczecin Cosmology Group carries on advanced research in
large-scale structure of the universe and its past and future
evolution. The basic framework of the research isnot only general
relativity but also more avangardous unification of interactions
theories such as superstring and M-theory. The group has a broad
international
collaboration, e.g. with prof. John D. Barrow (see top right)
from Cambridge University a mathematician, the 2005 Templeton Prize
winner and the author of manyworlwide-known popular books in
physics and cosmology. We also collaborate with rev. prof. Michael
Heller (see top right) from Vatican Observatory and
Interdisciplinary
Kopernik Center in Krakw the 2007 Templeton Prize winner a
physicist, a philosopher and a theologian.The members of the group
are: prof. M.P. Dbrowski, prof.. J. Garecki, prof.. J. Stelmach, A.
Balcerzak (M. Sc.) and Dr. T. Denkiewicz.

One of the key assumptions of thesuperstring theory is that all
the
elementary particles at theextremely small scale are not
pointobjects, but rather extended and
continuously vibrating strings. Thescattering of the two strings
can be
described by a pants diagram
(see right).
The most convincingevidence for the reality of
the Big-Bang was thediscovery of the
electromagnetic cosmicmicrowave background
(see left). About thefuture evolution of theuniverse one is able
to
learn by observing theexploding supernovae
(see right).

Besides, the physical world is full of various
coincidences,which are required for life to exist.
Examples (out of hundreds): water shrinks
at 0-4 Celcius degree, the Earth has the onlyone and quite large
natural satellite due to
which it does not wobble chaotically,
electrons are light enough compared tothe nuclei etc.
