BIG BANG Paperback

"Big Bang" by Simon Singh is a captivating and accessible history of the Big Bang theory, explaining not only what this groundbreaking cosmological model proposes but also the fascinating human story behind its development. Singh meticulously traces the journey from ancient Greek ideas about the cosmos to the 20th-century scientific discoveries that provided overwhelming evidence for an expanding universe originating from a single, infinitely dense point. He introduces the brilliant and often eccentric scientists—like Georges Lemaître, Edwin Hubble, and Albert Einstein—who fought against established ideas of an eternal universe, illustrating the scientific method in action with its blend of serendipity, curiosity, theory, and observation, ultimately making the most profound questions about creation comprehensible to the general reader.
