Bang!

With one big bang, the universe exploded into being 13.7 million years ago. This is the story of how everything came about, from time and space, to the formation of the first stars, galaxies, and planets, to the evolution of human beings—and on to the infinite future, after the Red Giant Sun consumes Earth. Bang! explains it all in straightforward terms, chronologically, and including the most up-to-date discoveries.
