The apparent order of the universe from microscopic sizes to the cosmic distances relies on an intricate internal structure that often defies common intuition. Despite its complexity, this structure is highly constrained by physical principles formulated by physicists during the past few hundred years. This talk highlights how physicists have reached our current understanding of the universe, all the way from the idea that everything is composed of tiny vibrating strings, to how black holes defy space and time to preserve information, and to the profound reasons for why the universe around us is incredibly huge.
