During the XX century, two revolutionary theories, relativity and quantum theory, have changed for ever our understanding of the world: now we know that the limits of the Universe are more extended than we could imagine. This compelling journey will go from the extremely big of cosmic scale phenomena (like gravitational waves and black holes) to the incredibly small (like subatomic particles, the Higgs boson and quantum physics), giving us a fascinating overview of modern and contemporary physics. With beautiful images and a simple but rigorous language, we could arrive at the frontiers of nowadays physics. Can we cross them? What is our next destination?
