Chaucer was an amateur astronomer; Milton broke bread with Galileo; and before turning to the arts Keats was a doctor. Meanwhile,\u003cbr\u003escientific luminaries like Ada Lovelace and James Clerk Maxwell moonlighted as poets, composing verse between experiments and equations.\u003cbr\u003eFollowing in this tradition, theoretical physicist Joseph Conlon spins a dazzling intergalactic epic. Drawing on his own scientific expertise, Conlon reveals the origins of our universe, through two long-form poems – ‘The\u003cbr\u003eElements’ and ‘The Galaxies’. Journeying from the Big Bang to the edges of our ever-expanding cosmos, Origins offers a delightful and revelatory adventure through contemporary physics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47288682938604,"sku":"9780861549115","price":32.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/20330893482494.jpg?v=1770568391","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/origins-by-joseph-conlon-9780861549115","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
