Description
The origins of the universe remain shrouded in mystery. What lies beyond the Big Bang? Brian Clegg delves into the history of this concept, tracing its evolution from ancient creation myths to modern debates about Black Holes. From Hershel's groundbreaking observation that the Milky Way is just one of many galaxies, to the ongoing discussions surrounding the nature of space and time, Clegg explores the complex web of theories that have led to our current understanding of the universe. But he also challenges the notion of the Big Bang itself, raising fundamental questions about the origin of the cosmos. This book offers a thought-provoking exploration of the universe's beginnings, one that is both accessible and engaging.
