Introduction by Professor Stephen Hawking. When Edwin Hubble looked
into his telescope in the 1920s, he was shocked to find that nearly
all of the galaxies he could see through it were flying away from
one another. If these galaxies had always been travelling, he
reasoned, then they must, at some point, have been on top of one
another. This discovery transformed the debate about one of the
most fundamental questions of human existence - how did the
universe begin? Every society has stories about the origin of the
cosmos and its inhabitants, but now, with the power to peer into
the early universe and deploy the knowledge gleaned from
archaeology, geology, evolutionary biology and cosmology, we are
closer than ever to understanding where it all came from. In The
Origin of (almost) Everything, New Scientist explores the modern
origin stories of everything from the Big Bang, meteorites and dark
energy, to dinosaurs, civilisation, timekeeping, belly-button fluff
and beyond. From how complex life evolved on Earth, to the first
written language, to how humans conquered space, The Origin of
(almost) Everything offers a unique history of the past, present
and future of our universe.
