Relation In Favor Of Books Big Bang: The Origin of the Universe
A half century ago, a shocking Washington Post headline claimed that the world began in five cataclysmic minutes rather than having existed for all time; a skeptical scientist dubbed the maverick theory the Big Bang. In this amazingly comprehensible history of the universe, Simon Singh decodes the mystery behind the Big Bang theory, lading us through the development of one of the most extraordinary, important, and awe-inspiring theories in science.Rating Of Books Big Bang: The Origin of the Universe

fascinating, entertaining and thrilling but leaves me with the agonising and terrifying question of "if the universe is expanding what is it expanding into?"great book though, thoroughly recommendedThis one was a really interesting read. Not only physics and astronomy but also a lot of history. Most of the "science parts" are not difficult to understand and you don't really need a background to appreciate this book, just the will to learn. The writing is particularly good, filled with interesting anecdotes and humor and Simon singh is actually a great storyteller!
As some1 who both loved Carl Sagan's Cosmos (book) and Neil Tyson's rebooted "Cosmos" on Netflix, I had to read this one. The surprise was that this one is a better book - in terms of readability, in terms of coherence, in making you understand the various steps to the Big Bang theory. It was a delightful read from start to finish.The cover says "The most amazing and important theory of science." I strongly disagree. Perhaps the author forgot that people of non-Abrahamic religions form half the
Simon Singh: if only you had published your book five years earlier, I would have gone into physics instead of business admin.While I thought Hawkings A brief History of Time was too condensed, I really appreciated the historical dimension of Singhs Big Bang. A new book will have to be written when a unified theory is found to explain both quantum gravity and the general relativity. I hope Singh is still around then.
One of the best books on science I've ever read, and for sure one of the best existent on the Big Bang

I've been a fan of Simon Singh since I read "Fermat's Enigma", and this book was another great one. It's not just about the Big Bang theory, but about the whole history of cosmology, starting with the-earth-is-flat-and-at-the-center-of-the-universe beliefs, up until the present-day understanding of things. He pulls in lots and lots of interesting characters, both well-known (Galileo and Einstein) and less well-known, all of whom are worthy of attention. Singh has a real gift for turning science
