Description

The internationally renowned astrophysicist Christoph Galfar leads us on an exciting journey through 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 storytelling, like a fairy tale. As we read it, we are transported to the surface of the dying Sun, we travel to distant galaxies, we experience the deathly embrace of a black hole, and the mysteries of physics unfold before us.

The book The Universe in Your Hands helps the ordinary reader understand the difficult truths that form the basis of modern science, while along the way it addresses deeper issues such as the existence of God, the origins of time, and the future of humanity...

Christoph Galfar, as a skilled storyteller, takes us by the hand on a journey through space and time, where we will explore the building blocks that underlie the universe, reaching as far as the unanswered questions that still concern us.

All these wonders are presented in a direct and intuitive language that achieves what no other book has managed to such an extent until now: making the labyrinthine, fantastical, mysterious, and marvelous world of science completely accessible to readers.

The book is also available in the countries: USA, England, France, Spain, Sweden, Italy, Czech Republic, Russia, Japan, China, Taiwan, Korea, Brazil.
