Combining the latest scientific advances with storytelling skills
unmatched in the cosmos, an award-winning astrophysicist and
popular writer leads us on a tour of some of the greatest mysteries
of our universe. In the constellation of Eridanus, there lurks a
cosmic mystery: It's as if something has taken a huge bite out of
the universe. But what is the culprit? The hole in the universe is
just one of many puzzles keeping cosmologists busy. Supermassive
black holes, bubbles of nothingness gobbling up space, monster
universes swallowing others-these and many other bizarre ideas are
being pursued by scientists. Due to breathtaking progress in
astronomy, the history of our universe is now better understood
than the history of our own planet. But these advances have
uncovered some startling riddles. In this electrifying new book,
renowned cosmologist and author Paul Davies lucidly explains what
we know about the cosmos and its enigmas, exploring the
tantalizing-and sometimes terrifying-possibilities that lie before
us. As Davies guides us through the audacious research offering
mind-bending solutions to these and other mysteries, he leads us up
to the greatest outstanding conundrum of all: Why does the universe
even exist in the first place? And how did a system of mindless,
purposeless particles manage to bring forth conscious, thinking
beings? Filled with wit and wonder, What's Eating the Universe? is
a dazzling tour of cosmic questions, sure to entertain, enchant,
and inspire us all.
