**AS SEEN ON BBC BREAKFAST** Will we ever truly understand our
cosmic home? This is the story of the technologies that allow us to
look up, to learn and to discover our place in the cosmos. 'An
electrifying new history of the universe' HANNAH FRY, author of
Rutherford and Fry's Complete Guide to Absolutely Everything We are
part of an incredible chain of events stretching 13.8 billion years
into the past and even further into the future. But what does that
future hold? And how do scientists study the entire universe? The
Universe in a Box is Andrew Pontzen's tribute to simulations - the
remarkable computer codes that, over the last century, have allowed
us to understand the distant past and far future of the universe.
It reframes what we think we know about galaxies, black holes and
matter itself. And it reveals the stories of the pioneering
scientists who unlocked the mysteries of space, from redshift to
improbable dark materials that pass, ghostlike, through solid rock.
Illuminating, provocative and bold, this is the story of our home,
the cosmos, through simulations: mini-universes inside computers.
'I was enlightened, amazed, and profoundly impressed' SIR PHILIP
PULLMAN, author of His Dark Materials
