A gripping popular science travel book visiting all the scientists in the world working on the massive experiments designed to find out who we are and where we came from and where we are going.
Andy Martin sets out on a road trip to search for the soul of the universe. In his personal quest for the mother of all truths, he has to go all the way back to the origin of time and space. He climbs up to the highest observatory in the world and sticks his head inside a 4 km-long laser tube capable of surfing waves from the Big Bang. He sees himself the way he used to be in a mirror and he discovers where you go when you die. He has close encounters with aliens and intimations of immortality. This book has everything - science, philosophy, literature, religion, Einstein, Weinstein, God, the Godfather, all seen through a glass darkly.
