Risale a un'epoca in cui la scienza era meno dogmatica; così, oltre alla teoria attualmente imperante del Big Bang, ne vengono proposte anche altre molto interessanti.

This book was first published in 1962 and updated in 1966. Since I was born in 1965, I bought it at a garage sale because I find it interesting to compare it to more recent astronomy books in my collection, and see how far science has come in my lifetime. Since many of the "mysteries" described in this book have now been solved, it makes me feel like some of today's scientific unknowns, such as the nature of dark matter and dark energy for instance, or the lack of a unifying "theory of everything" may also be explained in my lifetime, which makes all of this seem much more accessible and interesting. It's not just an academic exercise. We may actually find out the answers!
