The moment when matter, along with time and space, came into being is the dramatic subject of The Big Bang: The Birth of Our Universe. Scientists are building an increasingly clear picture of the most important even of all -- the moment the Universe began. The Big Bang theory forms the hypothesis that fifteen billion years ago, the Universe was brought into existence in a searing hot fireball called "The Big Bang." as the fireball expanded and cooled, tiny subatomic particles coalesced into atoms. These atoms then merged under the action of gravity to form galaxies and stars. Some of these stars developed planetary systems, and on at least one -- Earth -- a special kind of chemistry developed -- what we know as "life." Unraveling this picture of the birth and evolution of the Universe has been one of the greatest triumphs of the human intellect. The challenge now is to find out how the Universe will eventually die. Using the latest research findings and amazing photographs, The Big Bang presents a comprehensive and easy-to-read review of historical and contemporary scientific theories as possible answers to the fundamental questions.

Almost fifty years after he first crossed the small screen, Doctor Who remains a science fiction touchstone. His exploits are thrilling, his world is mind-boggling, and that time travel machine―known as the Tardis―is almost certainly an old-fashioned blue police box, once commonly found in London. 
Paul Parsons's plain-English account of the real science behind the fantastic universe portrayed in the Doctor Who television series provides answers to such burning questions as whether a sonic screwdriver is any use for putting up a shelf, how Cybermen make little Cybermen, where the toilets are in the Tardis, and much more.
Taking the show as a starting point―episode-by-episode in some cases―Parsons dissects its scientific concepts. In addition to explaining why time travel is possible and just how that blue police box works, Parsons 
• discusses who the Time Lords are and how we may one day be able to regenerate just like them • ponders the ways that the doctor's two hearts might work and introduces us to a terrestrial animal with five • details the alien populations and cosmology of the Whovian Universe and relates them to what we currently know about our universe • compares the robotics of the show with startlingly similar real-world applications
This slender, equation-free discussion is penned by a Ph.D. cosmologist and is ideal beach reading for anyone who loves science and watches the show―no matter which planet the beach is on.
