What is the Big Bang?
Who is behind it?
Why do we believe it really happened?
"I decided to write a book about the theory of the Big Bang because it is one of mankind's greatest achievements. I would like everyone to learn about it, to enjoy its fascinating story, to understand it. It is the story of the birth of the Universe, and the achievements of its protagonists: brilliant scientists who dedicated their lives to the battle against the established idea of an eternal and unchanging World. Through strange situations of scientific ambition, professional recognition, and personal promotion, eccentric astronomers, physicists, chemists, and mathematicians clash for the "ultimate" truth of the origin of the Universe."
Simon Singh
The term Big Bang turned out to be a small and impressive title for the theory of creation, and it was even invented by its greatest critic! The book tells the epic story of the most important scientific theory of all time. It has all the ingredients of a scientific adventure, but it has something more: true knowledge, scientific validity, clarity, twists, and... humor.
What do you not know from Anaximander and Xenophanes to Einstein's Universe, from Copernicus to Fred Hoyle, eternal expansion, the Steady State, the Big Bang? The time has come to read "Big Bang" it is time to follow Simon Singh to the beginnings of everything.
