Synopsis: You&’re no idiot, of course. You know Heisenburg&’s uncertainty principle has nothing to do with where you put your car keys. But modern cosmology is relatively complicated. The mystery of the universe definitely isn&’t one we can flip to the end to see whodunit. That hasn&’t stopped physicists, astronomers, and philosophers from searching for clues! The topic is infinite (literally), but once you&’ve read this book, you&’ll have a solid idea of our place in the universe—and even where the cosmos itself might be headed. In this Complete Idiot&’s Guide®, you&’ll explore: • Major religions, philosophical, and scientific theories concerning the nature and origin of the universe. • &“The theory of everything&”—one coherent model that would explain how all the forces and particles of nature work. • The fascinating and even sometimes bizarre implications of the latest theories.
