Universe Owners' Workshop Manual brings together the many fascinating theories of our universe, from the earliest philosophies to today's cutting-edge scientific discoveries. Collectively, it aims to explain the origin and evolution of the universe at large, the processes by which planetary systems form, and the chances of life being ubiquitous beyond our own planet.

Disputes and fierce competition between eminent scientific figures are discussed, and developments in optical telescopes, radio telescopes, X-ray telescopes, and a variety of satellite instruments that help us to learn more about the universe are followed.

The work, knowledge, and, in some cases, fallibility, of historical figures are investigated, along with Edwin Hubble’s work on nebulae and expansion, Einstein's theory of relativity, the extensive theories on supermassive black holes conducted throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, the production of radio energy by some galaxies, haloes, dark matter, and the perplexing possibilities of infinity.
