Keeping in mind that we can only see the universe from the comfort of our home galaxy Bascom begins his text by meticulously laying the necessary groundwork to understand the Big Bang's mathematics without using any equations He then paints a freeze-frame picture of our universe as if we had taken a three-dimensional picture with a giant camera Within this picture he traces forces beginning with the smallest (a single atom) to the biggest (the cosmos) keeping in mind that in this frozen moment everything further away from the observer spatially is also further away from the observer in time; that is older Soon a very real & very vivid image of the Big Bang appears (especially in things that are loud or hot) echoing down through time & into our everyday lives reflected in every atom during every measurement Then slowly but deliberately Bascom unfreezes this picture ratcheting each moment from one to the next showing us how & why quantum particles are constantly in contact with the Big Bang & why that allows the particles to pop in & out of existence from moment to moment what a photon is & what exactly we mean when we say that free space has energy Whether you're interested in the Big Bang the weirdness of quantum mechanics or simply enjoy thinking about the biggest loudest & oldest things in our universe this book will help you question your deepest notions about time & space while staying firmly rooted in empirical observation Throughout the text Bascom sidesteps traditional non-fiction modes using colorful explanations & vivid imagery to place the reader in simultaneous contact with both the Big Bang & fundamental particles As a result Bascom provides the tools & language necessary to contemplate the strangeness of our universe ...
