Sommario/riassunto

This book takes the reader on a journey to the Big Bang, learning on the way about various physical facts, observations, and theories. String theory is introduced as a possible all-encompassing physical theory that has the potential to grasp and describe the Big Bang. Its sometimes-spectacular predictions, such as additional spatial dimensions or parallel universes, are explained concisely.
