    • Was war vor dem Urknall? Wie wird sich das Universum entwickeln? Wird es auseinanderreißen? Oder sich zusammenziehen? Welche Rolle spielen dunkle Energie und dunkle Materie? Und welche die Schwarzen Löcher? Fragen, die Kosmologen immer aufs Neue beschäftigen, seit vor hundert Jahren die Big-Bang-Theorie entstand. Kaum eine lässt sich eindeutig beantworten, aber zu allen gibt es aufregende Forschung. Tony Rothman erklärt selbst eher abstrakte Themen gekonnt und verständlich, er ist ein Meister der Analogie. Ein Übersichtsbuch, geschrieben von einer Pulitzer-Preis-nominierten Physik-Koryphäe, das alles Wichtige darüber versammelt, was man über den Urknall und die Geschichte des Universums wissen muss.
