The Universe in Your Hand
The Universe in Your Hand: A Journey Through Space, Time and Beyond | Christophe Galfard
2 posts | 6 read | 3 reading | 8 to read
Imagine if The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy were a real, practical book about the mysteries of the universe... The Universe In Your Hand takes us on a wonder-filled journey to the surface of our dying Sun, shrinks us to the size of an atom and puts us in the deathly grip of distant Black Holes. Along the way you might come to understand, really understand, the mind-bending science that underpins modern life, from Quantum Mechanics to Einstein's theory of General Relativity. Through brilliant storytelling and humour rather than graphs and equations, internationally renowned astrophysicist Christophe Galfard has written an instant classic that brings the astonishing beauty of the universe to life - and takes us deep into questions about the beginning of time and the future of humanity.

#20 of my year and here is what I consider a smart book. One of my 2020 reading goals was to read more “smart” books so off I go! Let‘s uncover the hidden mysteries of this big bizarre world.

Caffeinated_Reader Well that was epic. The overall tone of the book was witty and good humored. You can tell the author loves the subject of the book and is excited to share his findings and those before him. I did learn a lot and am amazed by the brilliant minds that have helped us to understand the universe as we can in the now. 5y
Caffeinated_Reader It‘s amazing how much we know that we didn‘t only 100 years ago. I‘m excited to see what our new eye in the sky can detect and hope we get proof of multiverses and wormholes and even life on other planets and within other universes. Man that would be amazing to have proven in my lifetime. I definitely will keep my ear out for everything that is soon to be discovered. 5y
