摘要

The construction of a consistent self-contained physical description of the Universe as a unified whole is arguably the most ambitious objective of any branch of science. Amazingly, there are signs that at least in a broad-brush sense, suph a description may not only be possible but may even be within our grasp The excitement of working in modern-day cosmology has drawn a generation of bright young scientists into a field which only a few decades ago was speculative side-show far from the mainstream.
