The Cosmos Explained
Reveals stop-by-step how we can share Stephen Hawking's understanding of the cosmos, and our own place within it.
Working with the Big Bang Theory, Hawking and other physicists felt challenged to come up with a scientific picture which would tackle the fundamental question: what is the nature of the universe?
This book charts this work and provides simple explanations for phenomena which arouse our curiosity. It also shows just how close the experts have now come to a complete understanding of the universe. It is a voyage of discovery with an astonishing set of conclusions, which will enable us to understand how matter can be produced from nothing at all and will provide us with an explanation for the basis of our existence and everything around us.
