Overview
Overview
From the author of the bestselling science book Cosmic Wonder comes a second collection of ways to have an existential crisis. Nathan Hellner-Mestelman takes us right back to the Big Bang, then hurls us through cosmic history as we discover how to cook up galaxies, solar systems, and eventually life. From molecules to modern society, this book will take you through every reason we're alive in this universe, complemented by every cosmic force trying to kill us. Why haven't we found alien life yet? Perhaps that's a telltale sign we'd better watch out for ourselves. The cultures of our world may clash, but there's one single language that's governing everything in the cosmos, from the fabric of spacetime to the ripples in your soup, from the cells in your body and even to the simple reason why people are such jerks sometimes. That's the language of math-and it hammers in one undeniable fact: we've got more in common than first meets the eye. Come along for a maddening cosmic adventure in The Language of the Stars!
