Description
You are made of more atoms than there are stars in the universe.
In Atomic Universe, we follow just one of those atoms on an astonishing journey backwards through time - all the way to the Big Bang. Moving in reverse through the history of everything, you'll witness the birth of stars, feel the violence of the collision that created Earth, and imagine the first sound ever to break the silence of the cosmos.
As the clock runs backwards, the vast timeline of the universe begins to collapse: millions of years become minutes, minutes become seconds, until there are just 15 minutes to go... a nanosecond... and then, at last, the instant of the Big Bang itself.
Along the way, Atomic Universe also tells the remarkable story of the atom - one of the smallest things in existence, yet the key to understanding almost everything we can (and can't) see. Through the discoveries that revealed the atom's secrets, the book shows how the unimaginably tiny and the unimaginably vast are inextricably linked - and how we are all part of that same cosmic story.

About the Author
David Kelly is the brains behind the vastly popular YouTube channel History of the Universe, which produces videos exploring how the cosmos came into existence and why it behaves in the ways it does. He is passionate about transforming complicated physics into dramatic pieces of storytelling (once upon a time, David was an actor). As well as originating and producing the videos, in collaboration with expert scriptwriters and animators, he is the channel's awe-inspiring and much-loved narrator. Paul M. Sutter is a cosmologist, NASA advisor, TV host and U.S. Cultural Ambassador. He has won awards as a science communicator, including the 2022 Corones award from the Krell Institute, and is currently an associate research scientist at Johns Hopkins University. He has his own YouTube channel with over 70,000 followers, writes and hosts the Ask a Spaceman podcast, which has been downloaded over 7 million times, and has hosted science shows for TV and digital media.
