There may be millions of other planets in our galaxy that contain life and there may be multitudes upon multitudes of multiverses. This may mean everything that's physically possible is actually happening somewhere.\u003cp\u003eModern science has become so astonishing that many people find it difficult to believe. How We Came to Know the Cosmos addresses this by showing how we came to such bizarre conclusions. Each book starts from first principles and shows how one discovery led to another, ending with a summary of our current knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow We Came to Know the Cosmos: Light and Matter looks inwards, asking what we are made of.
