A Short Story of Things Big and Small

A SHORT STORY OF THINGS BIG AND SMALL is a factual jaw-dropping journey through 13.8 billion years of the most incredible things in the universe, from galaxies, stars, and supernovas to black holes, atoms, and particles. Told by someone who is decidedly not a scientist, Scott Hilsen explains the universe in an easy-to-understand and entertaining way by distilling the highlights from thousands of pages written by real scientists into just 100 pages written for anyone who does not have time to read thousands of pages. This short story - full of analogies and no math - is meant to fascinate, illuminate, and demonstrate that the big and small things we humans have discovered about the universe in such a short time are simply too amazing for anyone to miss.
