Big BangThe Origin of the Universe

Renowned for making difficult ideas much less difficult than they might first appear, Simon Singh is our perfect guide to explaining why cosmologists believe that the Big Bang is an accurate description of the origin and evolution of the Universe. With characteristic clarity, Simon Singh tells the centuries-long story of mankind s attempt to understand how the Universe came to be; a story which itself begins some 14 billion years ago. Full of anecdotes and personal histories, this highly readable and entertaining book gives us all a richer understanding of the fundamental theory in all of science, and a high point--perhaps THE high point--of human achievement.
