The Universe Within A Scientific Adventure by Neil Shubin explores the profound connections between the human body and the universe. From the smallest atomic structures to the vast reaches of space, Shubin uncovers a sublime truth: that in every one of us lies the most profound story of all - how we and our world came to be. Shubin's journey takes him from the Big Bang to the present day, revealing the intricate web of relationships between the universe, solar system, and planet. He shows how the creation of the Atlantic Ocean has affected human reproduction, and how the water inside us is linked to the deepest stretches of space.
