Ilustration Supposing Books Big Bang: The Origin of the Universe

A half century ago, a shocking Washington Post headline claimed that the world began in five cataclysmic minutes rather than having existed for all time; a skeptical scientist dubbed the maverick theory the Big Bang. In this amazingly comprehensible history of the universe, Simon Singh decodes the mystery behind the Big Bang theory, lading us through the development of one of the most extraordinary, important, and awe-inspiring theories in science.

Comment On Regarding Books Big Bang: The Origin of the Universe

An excellent history of the science leading to the acceptance of the Big Bang theory- from early Greek philosophers and Copernicus to the COBE satellite and beyond.

I'm a sucker for readable tomes explicating theoretical physics/ cosmology for the non-mathematically trained and feel compelled to pump up my puny understanding of the field every now and then. Singh kept me engaged almost all the way through The Big Bang(the book slacks off a bit toward the end)as he ran through the history of the science leading up to and encompassing the acceptance of The Big Bang theory as the most accurate description we now have of the origin and evolution of the

Great book. The book describes the history of our understanding of the origin of the universe. Fascinating stories. Shows very clearly the evidence of the big bang. Also the scientific process is well-described in this book.I was a little bit disappointed that the book stopped when the Big Bang was recognised by the scientific community, so recent developments were not explained.

The book is a long (and mostly fun) 'story' about the various scientific discoveries that eventually led to the acceptance of the big bang theory. Contrary to the name of the book, the author does NOT actually go into the details of big bang or even special/general theories of relativity - it was quite disheartening. The book is meant for a wide range of audience and can at best be used as an intro to big bang. Nevertheless, the content was good and it was a great read!

As some1 who both loved Carl Sagan's Cosmos (book) and Neil Tyson's rebooted "Cosmos" on Netflix, I had to read this one. The surprise was that this one is a better book - in terms of readability, in terms of coherence, in making you understand the various steps to the Big Bang theory. It was a delightful read from start to finish.The cover says "The most amazing and important theory of science." I strongly disagree. Perhaps the author forgot that people of non-Abrahamic religions form half the



Great book. A very thorough analysis of the various competing theories and why the Big Bang comes out on top.
