The Briefest History of the Universe: From the Big Bang to the Present Day

«This book tells the story of the historical changes of all elements in the cosmos from the Big Bang to the evolution of life and the history of humanity — how simple clusters of hydrogen transform into complex human societies. History usually allows us to live many lives instead of one, and this particular story offers the experience of billions of years… As for the future, I speak of the next century, the next thousand years, the next million, billion, and even trillion and quadrillion years, up to the potential end of our Universe».
