About this ebook
Where did the Universe come from? The single biggest and most difficult question that there is. From early religions through Greek Philosophy and Western Science, man has always attempted to discover the meaning of our place in the Universe. In the last twenty years these debates have all been stood on their head by amazing discoveries, big bang theory, and ideas about new sub-atomic layers. 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, mathematics, and relativity theory, ending with contemporary mind-expanding concepts such as the reversibility of time and parallel universes.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The actual book I read is titled The Universe and suntitled Explained, Condensed and Exploded. It has the same author, ISBN and publication year but my book is only 144 pages. The author uses a dry wit and simple, understandable language to explain sometimes complex concepts. However he did lose me towards the end. For a quick read on astronomy, easy I would recommend it.
