Our Universe is amazing. This is its story, told in simple language.
The story tells how the Universe came to be what it is today. It starts with the Big Bang and describes how stars, black holes, and our solar system developed. It explores the evolution of life on Earth and investigates the possibility of extra-terrestrial life. It peers into the future and wonders about the Universe’s likely old age and death, or whatever else may be its end.
The challenge the book takes up is to explain all of this, including some of the astonishing concepts we have in science, such as Einstein’s theories of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, using virtually no mathematics and without dumbing-down. All are described narratively and explained using examples and anecdotes.
The book is written for young people with a thirst for learning about the science of space, as well as for ‘grown-ups’ who want a better understanding of this fascinating subject.
