    Ce cours essaie d'expliquer l'origine de l'univers en partant du point initial appelé le temps 0. Le moment où il n'y avait que le "néant"; l'instant d'avant ce qu'on appelle "le Big Bang". Il décrit les différents processus qui auraient mené à cet instant premier du début de l'expansion de l'univers, et le tout s'est déroulé en une seconde.
    Ensuite, il a tenté d'expliquer les étapes qui se sont déroulés juste après le Big Bang ou encore le début de l'expansion de l'univers avec surtout le role des protons, neutrons et électrons, puis ensuite la formation des différents couches d'hydrogènes; étapes qui sont les prémices de la formation des étoiles et en gros des galaxies.
