About this listen

The Universe in Your Hand: A Journey Through Space, Time and Beyond

Imagine if The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy were a real, practical book about the mysteries of the universe. . . In The Universe in Your Hand, internationally renowned astrophysicist Christophe Galfard takes us on a wonder-filled journey to the surface of our dying sun, shrinks us to the size of an atom and puts us in the deathly grip of distant black holes. Along the way, you'll come to understand the mind-bending science that underpins modern life, from quantum mechanics to Einstein's theory of general relativity.

Through brilliant storytelling and humour, Galfard brings the astonishing beauty of the universe to life – and takes us deep into questions about the beginning of time and the future of humanity. You'll explore the origin of space and time, quantum gravity, parallel universes, dark matter, dark energy, cosmic inflation, and string theory. Perfect for anyone curious about the cosmos, The Universe in Your Hand is an instant classic that makes complex concepts accessible and enjoyable for all listeners.

The author promises to carry the listener through, what to most, is rather complex. In my case he virtually delivers. I know that I will have to listen to the book again to give him the opportunity to completely fulfil his promise. That, will be a pleasure.

Not for the faint hearted.
