• The Universe today is flat and its acceleration is expanding.

• The irregularities in the Universe today (galaxies, stars and all the rest, including ourselves) result from quantum fluctuations during inflation.

• The Universe is made up of roughly 70 per cent dark energy, 30 per cent matter.

• The matter in the Universe is made up of roughly seven times more non-baryonic dark matter than baryonic matter, with only 10 per cent of the baryonic matter (0.4 per cent of the total mass-energy of the Universe) in the form of bright stars. Neutrinos contribute as much mass, overall, as bright stars.
