Hijos del universo : La historia del cosmos y de la obsesión por entenderlo

Space and time gave birth to abysses not meant to be seen. One day, we decided to disobey the universe. In Children of the Universe, a young BBC screenwriter and an astrophysicist haunted by the secrets of his past pursue the trail of the first discovered black hole, a team of scientists ventures to the ends of the earth in search of the gravitational scars of the Big Bang, and three physics geniuses uncover a dark prophecy capable of shattering the foundations of modern cosmology, forcing us to rewrite the ultimate fate of the cosmos. Based on real discoveries, theories, and historical figures, this book, somewhere between essay and thriller, and moving at a breakneck pace between multiple timelines, transforms some of the most important astronomical findings of the last century into a human story about obsession, the fear of the unknown, and the need to understand our place in the universe. Because we were never separated from him: we are the heirs of the moment in which the universe dared to contemplate itself.
