The Universe in your hands

Christoph Galfar

Internationally renowned astrophysicist Christoph Galfar takes us on a fascinating journey into the past, present and future of the universe - a journey into the real world of science. An impressive work of popular science that explains quantum mechanics, general relativity and string theory not through abstract diagrams and equations, but through narrative, like a fairy tale. Reading it, we are transported to the surface of the dying Sun, we travel to distant galaxies, we try the deadly suffocating embrace of a black hole and the mysteries of physics unfold before us. The book The Universe in Your Hands helps the ordinary reader to understand the difficult truths that form the basis of modern science, while on the way it raises deeper issues such as the existence of God, the beginnings of time and the future of humanity… Christoph Galfar, as a skilled narrator, takes us by the hand on a journey through space and time, where we will explore the building blocks that are at the base of the universe, reaching the unanswered questions that still concern us. All these miracles are presented in direct and intuitive language, which achieves what no other book has succeeded to such an extent to date: to make the labyrinthine, imaginary, mysterious and wonderful world of science completely accessible to readers. The book is also available in the USA, England, France, Spain, Sweden, Italy, Czech Republic, Russia, Japan, China, Taiwan, Korea, Brazil.
