The 20th century gave us two great theories of physics: the general
theory of relativity, which describes the behaviour of things on a
very large scale, including the entire Universe; and quantum
theory, which describes the behaviour of things on a very small
scale, the sub-atomic world. The refusal of the Universe to reveal
an equation that combines these two great ideas has caused some
people to doubt our whole understanding of physics. In this
landmark new book, popular science master John Gribbin tells the
dramatic story of the quest that has led us to discover the true
age of the Universe (13.8 billion years) and the stars (just a
little bit younger). This discovery, Gribbin argues, is one of
humankind's greatest achievements and shows us that physics is on
the right track to finding the 'Theory of Everything'. 13.8
provides an eye-opening look at this cutting-edge area of modern
cosmology and physics, and tells the compelling story of what
modern science has achieved - and what it can still achieve.
