Author: Primack, Joel R

For 400 years, since early scientists discovered that the universe did not revolve around the Earth, people have felt cut off - adrift in a meaningless cosmos. That is about to change. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Primack, a leading cosmologist, and Abrams, a philosopher and writer, use recent advances in astronomy, physics and cosmology to frame a compelling new theory of the universe and our role in it that satisfies the fundamental human need for order and meaning in our lives.
