The Universe in From Birth to Beyond tells the story of the universe in a way anyone can follow - from the first tiny fraction of a second after the beginning of time to the far future of everything we know. It explains how our universe started so hot and dense that the laws of physics broke down, how one single force split into the four forces of nature we see today, and how a small amount of matter managed to survive the clash with antimatter to form stars, planets, and life.
You will explore the hidden “skeleton” of the universe made of dark matter, the mysterious dark energy that is pushing galaxies apart faster and faster, and the scientific search for life beyond Earth using simple tools like the Drake Equation. From ideas like the Big Bounce to the possibility of a distant Big Rip, the book turns complex cosmic theories into an exciting, easy-to-follow journey about where we come from - and where the universe may be going.
