Overview
All of us share a common yearning to understand our place in the universe. For countless millennia we looked at the stars, the land and ourselves, and wove explanations that involved unseen forces and unseen beings. In recent times, science has allowed us to look back to almost the beginning of time13.7 billion years ago, providing us with an amazing story of discovery. A story that reveals a cosmos of violent recycling and beauty, of unimaginable magnitude, a universe driven by mysterious dark energy that is expanding at an accelerating rate to its ultimate demise, far, far into the future. The formation of the earth, the creation of life and the accent of the curious conscious human is explored by examining some of the great discovers and discoveries in science. It was inspired by requests made by many visitors to the Gravity Discovery Centre's Cosmology Gallery in Western Australia, that houses a 60m long Timeline of the Universe. They frequently asked if the story and the accompanying poems were available in a book. This inspired the authors to adapt the timeline story, in image, text and verse, in this book.
