Description:
How old is the universe? What do the atoms in our bodies, our very existence, tell us about the history of the universe? How heavy is the vacuum? How do galaxies form? Michael Rowan-Robinson discusses these questions and more in this lively introduction to what modern astronomy has discovered about the universe. Basing his discussion on nine of the fundamental constants in the universe, many only estimates at present, he surveys the entire field, using as a guide Montaigne's question "What do I know?" The reader emerges with a genuine feel for what we do really know about the universe and also what we do not.
