The Universe

The single biggest and most difficult question that exists? From early religions through to Greek philosophy and western science, man has attempted to discover the meaning of the Universe and our place within it.

In the last twenty years these debates have been turned on their heads by amazing discoveries, the big bang theory and ideas about new sub-atomic layers. Now more than ever, the nature of Time and Space are truly up for grabs.

With a witty and accessible style, Osborne leads us on a historical and informative journey through the philosophies of the universe, including the importance of telescopes, math ematics and relativity theory and contemporary mind-expanding concepts such as the reversibility of time and parallel universes.
