We are stardust brought to life, then empowered by the universe to figure itself out – and we have only just begun.
I’ve been always deeply fascinated with everything that extends beyond our beloved earth out to the universe.
I must say that I had to re read several parts of this book, I forced my little mind in order to grasp some of the magnificent concepts that are presented in this book. It is an introductory book into astrophysics and yet all the chapters are so mind blowing, it’s really hard for your mind to even take a tiny look into the grandiosity of the universe.
I read this review in Goodreads before I bought this book, I found it really funny and I’m agree with it:
Imagine you are standing with your face up and your mouth wide open underneath a waterfall of Skittles.At first, a few Skittles get into your mouth and you can taste them. Awesome, you think. I love Skittles. Then, the Skittles become overwhelming, as more and more try to force themselves in, and millions and millions puddle around your feet, piling up past your knees.
If I were not a software Engineer I would have loved to be an astrophysicist, what I’m left is to continue to be amazed by books like this that present us the immensity of the universe and the tininess of us.
