The best way to understand something is to find out how it got here. Where did it come from? What are its origins? This is true for families, nations and astronomy. All human cultures have painted their ancestors and myths onto the night sky. When something is that universal, there must be adaptive reasons for it. The desire to know where you are on the most comprehensive map you can make, has probably helped us survive (but we'll see what happens when we find ET?). I will describe the history and future of how the universe just keeps getting bigger and bigger why that's important; more planets, more stars, more galaxies and even more universes!
