Das Universum in deiner Hand

Synopsis of Das Universum in deiner Hand

Quantum physics, black holes, string theory, the Big Bang, dark matter, dark energy, and parallel universes: even if we are interested in these fundamental concepts of our world, their language is often the language of math. Christophe Galfard's mission is to spread modern scientific ideas to the general public in an entertaining way. Using his skills as a theoretical physicist and author, 'The Universe in Your Hand' employs simple, direct language to show us the theories that underpin everything we know about our universe. By using everyday similes and metaphors, and addressing the reader directly, Galfard renders these astoundingly complex ideas in an immediate and visceral way.
