DESCRIPTION:100 years ago\, Friedmann and Kasner discovered the first exac
 t cosmological solutions to Einstein’s field equations\, revealing the p
 resence of a striking new phenomenon\, namely\, the Big Bang singularity. 
 Since then\, it has been the object of study in a great deal of research o
 n general relativity. However\, the nature of the ‘generic’ Big Bang s
 ingularity still remains a mystery. Rivaling scenarios are abound (monoton
 icity\, chaos\, spikes) that make the classification of all solutions a ve
 ry intricate problem. I will give a historic overview of the subject and d
 escribe recent progress that confirms a small part of the conjectural pict
 ure.\n
