About the Book:
In clear language, he equips even the most unscientific reader with enough knowledge of physics to understand what happened after the ‘big bang’. He then gives a slow-motion, cinematic presentation of the universe’s first three minutes. During this time, out of a dense ‘soup’ of matter and energy, the universe was moulded and exploded apart in an enormous convulsion, the traces of which can be discerned today. Professor Weinberg is one of those scientists who has helped resolve the debate between the ‘big bang’ and ‘steady state’ theories. Here, with lucidity and enthusiasm, he gives the readers a dazzling adventure of the mind.
