The universe is weirder than you think—and more mind-blowing than you ever imagined.
Black holes that warp time, particles that exist in multiple places at once, a universe that's mostly invisible—reality is far stranger than common sense would have you believe. In Unlocking the Cosmos, embark on an exhilarating journey through space and time as it unpacks the biggest mysteries of the universe in a way that's clear, engaging, and endlessly fascinating.
What is time, and why does it only move forward? If dark matter and dark energy make up 95% of everything, why can't we see them? Are we alone in the universe, or is the silence of space hiding something bigger? From Einstein's theory of relativity to quantum weirdness, from the birth of stars to the death of the universe, this book explores the wonders of astrophysics with clarity, wit, and a deep sense of awe.
Whether you're a total beginner with no science background or someone already fascinated by the cosmos, Unlocking the Cosmos makes the universe accessible—without dumbing it down. Packed with jaw-dropping facts, mind-expanding concepts, and a touch of humour, this is a book for anyone who has ever looked up at the night sky and wondered, what else is out there?
If you love the works of Carl Sagan, Brian Cox, or Neil deGrasse Tyson, or just enjoy an intellectual adventure that expands your perspective, this book belongs on your shelf.
