It's time for the biggest battle in the Universe: the Big Bang. In one corner is gravity— the force that brings all matter together. In the other is pressure— the force that can push matter away. Over the next several hundred thousand years, these two contenders will be wrestling for the fate of the Universe. But what are these powers fighting over? Fabio Pacucci digs into this historic matchup. \[Directed by Joseph Clark, narrated by Jack Cutmore-Scott, music by Salil Bhayani, cAMP Studio\].
