Because the weather has been so hot and my mind doesn’t work properly in the heat.

I loved this. I must admit it wasn’t easy going, I haven’t had any great scientific education, and I am not sure how much I actually understood. It will probably need another read through now that I have got through it once.

What it has done though is inspire me to read further about the subject, and that is no bad thing. So I’ll be googling away for the next few days.

The book basically introduces the theories of how the universe began (I won’t give away the ending [or should that be the beginning?] but it does have a twist). Looking at the basic Big Bang theory, constant expansion, inflation, and then moved into the realm of Quantum theories.
