Synopsis
Learn how the big bang may have been spawned by a collision between island universes ; how a single remarkable number contains the answer to every question we could ever ask; how the most widely accepted theory of the Universe s origin suggests that Elvis never died; and how a computer program a mere four lines long could be generating the stars, the galaxies and the tip of your nose. Chown fearlessly addresses the big questions on the nature of the universe in this wonderfully accessible and diverting popular science book, the nature of reality, and the place of life in the universe. Ultimately, he says, science is about the down-to-earth things that matter to all of us. Where did the Universe come from? Where did we come from? What the hell are we doing here?

About the Author
Marcus Chown is an award-winning writer and broadcaster. Formerly a radio astronomer at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, he is now cosmology consultant of the weekly science magazine New Scientist. Marcus s first popular science book, Afterglow of Creation runner-up for the prestigious Rhône-Poulenc Prize was published to much acclaim in 1994. The Magic Furnace, Marcus s second book, was published in Britain in 1999. In Japan it was chosen as one of the Books of the Year by Asahi Shimbun, the world s biggest newspaper and, in the UK, the Daily Mail called it a dizzy page-turner with all the narrative devices you d expect to find in Harry Potter. His third book, The Universe Next Door, was published in 2002. An exuberant book a parallel universe where science is actually fun, wrote the Independent. Marcus lives in London with his wife, Karen.
