summary:

The study of the Universe, both in terms of its structure and its origin, has interested humankind practically since its beginnings. In the construction of a physical model of our environment, we have come a long way in which advances have been the result of great ideas, but also sometimes of great mistakes. In the last hundred years we have witnessed a series of crises that have forced us to rethink many generally accepted principles and to introduce notions that sometimes clash with our intuition or our ordinary experience. The goal of this seminar room is to address the evolution of the model of the Universe that we have had from the end of the 19th century to the present day, and to discuss the causes of the crises that made the successive modifications necessary.
