'Mind-inflating' Wired 'A grand vision of the marvels we've
discovered, and the immensity of what we still don't understand'
Sunday Times What if the ancient Greeks were right, and the
universe really did spring into being out of chaos and the void?
How could we know? And what must its first moments have been like?
To answer these questions, scientists are delving into all the
hidden crevices of creation. Armed with giant telescopes and
powerful particle accelerators, they probe the subtle mechanisms by
which our familiar world came to be, and try to foretell the manner
in which it will end. The result of all this collective effort is a
complex tale, stranger at times than even our most ancient creation
myths. Yet its building blocks give us the power to work marvels
our predecessors could scarcely comprehend. In Genesis, the CERN
physicist and bestselling author Guido Tonelli does poetic justice
to that great story, the accomplishment of countless minds working
together across the ages.
