Overview
The fundamental concepts of astrophysics are presented in a curious and captivating way, written in the intriguing style of a skilled science communicator.
It starts from the Big Bang, then moves on to the structure of matter, dark energy, spacetime, and complexity, finally arriving at future scenarios such as the possible Big Crunch or Big Rip, and the idea of a cyclic universe.
Each chapter is dedicated to one of the words at the heart of understanding stars and the cosmos, so that by the end, the reader will have the keys to the sky–at least in terms of knowledge.
