Genesis: The Story of How Everything Began
Autor Guido Tonelli Traducere de Erica Segre, Simon Carnellen Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 apr 2022
Curiosity and wonderment about the origins of the universe are at the heart of our experience of the world. From Hesiod's Chaos, described in his poem about the origins of the Greek gods, Theogony, to today's mind-bending theories of the multiverse, humans have been consumed by the relentless pursuit of an answer to one awe-inspiring question: What exactly happened during those first moments?
Guido Tonelli, the acclaimed, award-winning particle physicist and a central figure in the discovery of the Higgs boson (the "God particle"), reveals the extraordinary story of our genesis-from the origins of the universe, to the emergence of life on Earth, to the birth of human language with its power to describe the world. Evoking the seven days of biblical creation, Tonelli takes us on a brisk, lively tour through the evolution of our cosmos and considers the incredible challenges scientists face in exploring its mysteries. Genesis both explains the fundamental physics of our universe and marvels at the profound wonder of our existence.

Guido Tonelli; Translated from the Italian by Erica Segre and Simon Carnell
Recenzii
Most of us are familiar with the bare bones of the story - a moment of explosive expansion; then stars and planets form; finally, up we pop - but the detail is much richer and stranger ... Tonelli leaps - often in one paragraph - from minutiae to cosmic grandeur ... [This] hugely impressive book gives a grand vision of the marvels we've discovered, and the immensity of what we still don't understand. Maybe he should have called it Revelations instead
Mind-inflating ... Genesis is suffused with the language and lessons of myth, so much of which we're only now catching up to. In a way, that's what science is for: to prove the stories true
Accessible and highly engaging ... Takes us on a journey from the big bang to the evolution of humans, blending Greek mythology with scientific exploration in a narrative that's lyrical and exhilarating in equal measure
Einstein meets Ovid ... Grounded in theoretical science but sustained by artistic fervor, this account not only illuminates the precepts of modern cosmology for nonspecialists, but also endows those precepts with rare imaginative power ... Others have told this story, of course, but no one has so enriched the science of this cosmic drama with such meaningful forays into mythology, scripture, music, and history ... A science book that will matter deeply to nonscientists
Elegant, accessible ... Tonelli's storytelling successfully weaves curiosity, Greek mythology, and scientific discovery
Lush and inviting, offering countless points of entry even for those readers unfamiliar with fundamental concepts of physics ... An exhilarating exploration of the cosmos that is both poetic and cutting-edge
Tonelli takes the reader on the most thrilling roller-coaster ride, starting with the void and ending 13.8 billion years later with the complex multiverse we currently inhabit. Neatly divided into seven chapters corresponding to different cosmological epochs, this is the modern-day Genesis narrative told by a master story teller.
The scientific story of the origin and evolution of our universe is much like a collection of the brittle scrolls of some ancient philosopher. We have mere fragments, enough to be sure that this is the one great poem of the universe, but tantalisingly incomplete. In Genesis, Guido Tonelli guides us expertly through what we know, what we don't know, and what we can only guess. You will find poetry here, and a strong sense of wonder and awe
Guido Tonelli tells the compelling, astonishing and profoundly beautiful story of creation according to modern science; but just like the Book of Genesis itself, this is also a story of the future - for it is science that enables our modern world and ensures the future of our species
A wonderful scientific narrative
An exquisite tale
Spellbinding ... For Tonelli, everything in the evolution of the Universe, culture and the human condition follows from the need to understand our origins. Stories allow us to make sense of the void from which all things began. It is fitting that his own story is complex, mysterious and, at times, even messy ? a bit like the Universe itself

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'Mind-inflating' Wired'A grand vision of the marvels we've discovered, and the immensity of what we still don't understand' Sunday TimesWhat if the ancient Greeks were right, and the universe really did spring into being out of chaos and the void? How could we know? And what must its first moments have been like?To answer these questions, scientists are delving into all the hidden crevices of creation. Armed with giant telescopes and powerful particle accelerators, they probe the subtle mechanisms by which our familiar world came to be, and try to foretell the manner in which it will end.The result of all this collective effort is a complex tale, stranger at times than even our most ancient creation myths. Yet its building blocks give us the power to work marvels our predecessors could scarcely comprehend. In Genesis, the CERN physicist and bestselling author Guido Tonelli does poetic justice to that great story, the accomplishment of countless minds working together across the ages.
