A few things you might be wondering.
Is this a physical book or an ebook?
This is the illustrated digital edition: a 52-page PDF with ten chapters. No physical book is shipped.
Do I need a background in physics?
The book introduces the ideas in explanatory prose with illustrations. It is intended for curious readers rather than as an advanced physics textbook.
What does the book cover?
Black holes are the starting point. The journey also explores dark matter, the multiverse, time dilation, exoplanets, quantum physics, the fate of the universe, ancient astronomy and astrobiology.
Can I read it on my phone or tablet?
Yes. The PDF opens in standard PDF readers on phones, tablets and computers. You can zoom into the illustrations or print pages for personal reading.
Are the multiverse and time travel proven?
The book explores both established science and theoretical possibilities. Multiverse models and travel into the past are speculative; measured time dilation is established.
