Description
Uncle Albert and his niece Gedanken embark on their next adventure to explore the universe. Their journey takes them to the edge of space, where they discover astonishing phenomena such as black holes that swallow everything in their path.
They encounter strange objects like tape measures that shrink when taken downstairs, and experience time dilation at incredible speeds. But what's even more remarkable is that Gedanken learns she's made of stardust - a discovery that changes her understanding of the universe forever.
