Publisher's Synopsis
Where did the universe come from? From early religions through Greek philosophy and Western science, man has always attempted to discover the meaning of his place in the universe. In the last 20 years incredible discoveries, big bang theory and ideas about subatomic layers have stood the lot on its head - the nature of Time and Space is truly up for grabs. Osborne leads readers on a witty, accessible and informative ramble through the philosophies and sciences of the universe - from the beginnings of cosmology to mind-bending concepts like reverse time and parallel universes.
