La Plus Belle Histoire du Monde

4/5 ( ratings)

How did the universe begin? How did the earth evolve? How did life start? What does the future hold? Three eminent scientists--an astrophysicist, an organic chemist, and an anthropologist--ponder such questions and offer enlightening answers.In this relatively brief but potent book, three eminent scientists--an astrophysicist, an organic chemist, and an anthropologist--ponder and discuss some of the basic questions that have obsessed humankind through the ages, and offer thoughtful, enlightening answers, in terms the layperson can easily understand. Until now, most of these questions were addressed by religion and philosophy. But science has reached a point where it, too, can voice an opinion.Beginning with the Big Bang roughly 15 billion years ago, the authors trace the evolution of the cosmos, from the first particles, the atoms, the molecules, the development of cells, organisms, living creatures, up to the tardy arrival of Homo erectus and Homo sapiens. We descend, they show, from bacteria and monkeys, but also from the stars and galaxies: the elements that make up the human body are the same elements that, in the depths of time, constituted the universe. ""We are,"" say the authors, ""truly children of the stars.""
Provocative, informative, free of technical or scientific jargon, Origins, which is structured as a play in three acts, offers compelling insights into how the universe, life on Earth, and the human species began and evolved, based on the most up-to-date knowledge and in the light of the most recent scientific discoveries.It will make the reader think differently about the world we live in.
