You Are Here is a dazzling exploration of the universe and our relationship to it.It is the story of how something evolved from nothing,and how something became everything. It is the story of science: the greatest story ever told.Here,for the first time in a single span,is the life of the universe,from quarks to galaxy super-clusters,and from slime to Homo sapiens.The universe was once a moment of perfect symmetry,and is now 13.7 billion years of history. Clouds of gas were woven into whatever complexity we find in the universe today: the hierarchies of stars,or the brains of mammals.With wit and erudition,Christopher Potter takes us on a voyage beyond even time and space,to present the state of scientific knowledge at its most up-to-date and exhilarating.
