'Brilliant. You won't find a clearer, more engaging guide to what we know (or would like to know) about the universe and how it is put together' Bill Bryson

Celebrated physicist and globally best-selling author Paul Davies narrates the story of the universe through thirty cosmological puzzles.

A cosmic mystery is hidden in the Eridanus constellation. It seems that something has removed a vast amount from the universe, leaving a super-void. What could be the cause? An exaggerated black hole? Another, larger universe? Or an expanding bubble of void, destined to absorb and destroy everything in existence?

Scientists now understand the history of our universe better than the history of our own planet, but they continue to discover astonishing new mysteries - the hole in the universe is just one of them. In this fascinating book, the award-winning physicist Paul Davies guides us through the puzzles and paradoxes that have intrigued cosmologists from ancient Greece to the present day. Revealing the bold research that has led us to mind-boggling solutions, Davies unveils how we can begin to approach the greatest unsolved mysteries of all.
