ABSTRACT: We have been constructing the cosmic energy inventory, which registers all forms of the energy existing in the universe. Examinations of the consistency across the entries tell us how well we understand the astrophysics of the universe, where the evolution is viewed as the relocation of the energy. I talk about some salient problems posed by this consideration and those solved, with emphasis on the recent work we have done.
