Publisher's Synopsis
Wind your way through history from the ancient worship of Mother Earth to the study of atomism; experience those great heralds of infinity: Epicurus, Lucretius, and Giordano Bruno; learn about the meandrous evolution of the scientific method that modern theorists sadly too often ignore; discover how the laws of biogenesis, conservation of energy, and interminable time all trump pop theories about the universe's supposed origin; and finally find within formulas that elucidate the redshifting of light waves and the underlying nature of time.
