According to a recent survey, the most popular question about
science from the general public was: what came before the Big Bang?
We all know on some level what the Big Bang is, but we don't know
how it became the accepted theory, or how we might know what came
before. In "Before the Big Bang", Brian Clegg (the critically
acclaimed author of "Upgrade Me" and "The God Effect") explores the
history of this remarkable concept. From the earliest creation
myths, through Hershel's realization that the Milky Way was one of
many galaxies, to ongoing debates about Black Holes, this is an
incredible look at the origins of the universe and the many
theories that led to the acceptance of the Big Bang. But the idea
of Big Bang doesn't so much answer questions as raise new ones.
Clegg challenges the notion of the 'Big Bang' itself, and raises
the deep philosophical question of why we might want to rethink the
origin of the universe. This is popular science at its best,
exploratory, controversial, and utterly engrossing.
