Review
'A challenging alternative to the accepted picture of the big bang and the future of the universe.' (Stephen Hawking )
'Two brilliant theorists offer a true-to-life account of their quest to solve one of the deepest mysteries of the cosmos.' (Sir Martin Rees )
'Perhaps you don't believe in strings, or extra spatial dimensions, or D-branes, or that the universe's accelerated expansion may someday reverse. But I urge you to suspend such views and read Steinhardt and Turok's dramatic and very readable account of their cyclic model of the universe. It may be closer to the truth than you think!' (Roger Penrose )
'Paul Steinhardt and Neil Turok, two architects of modern cosmology, have written an accessible and engaging account of their exciting new theory of cosmic origins. Should their approach someday be confirmed, it would result in a major upheaval to our understanding of how everything - space, time, and matter - came to be.' (Brian Greene )
'this book is a strike at the facade of certainty that pervades cosmology... it deserves to be widely read' (
FOCUS magazine )
'[Steinhardt and Turok] argue persuasively for the elegance of their idea' (
THE GUARDIAN )
'a highly readable account of two scientists' struggle to imagine the universe... captures excellently the excitement of scientific advance' (
PHYSICS WORLD )
