We are here.
Circling one star among hundreds of billions, in one galaxy among a hundred billion more, in a Universe that is vast and expanding ever faster β perhaps toward infinity. In the granular details of daily life, itβs easy to forget that we live in a place of astonishing grandeur and mystery.
The Breakthrough Initiatives are a suite of space science programs funded by the foundation established by Julia and Yuri Milner. The Initiatives investigate the fundamental questions of life in the Universe: Are we alone? Are there habitable worlds in our galactic neighbourhood? Can we make the great leap to the stars? And can we think and act together β as one world in the cosmos?
