Big Bang: The Origin of the Universe
Amazon.com: Big Bang: The Origin of the Universe (9780007162208): Simon Singh: Books
I’ve been always meaning to read this, but now the paperbacks of Japanese translations by Kaoru Aoki (his translation is awesome) are out, I started reading this on my 8 hour flight from Narita.
Simon Singh as always makes me sleepless reading this. It’s the best science non-fiction entertainment like his other masterpiece Fermat’s Last Theorem, and this one really makes me feel like I’m back being a high school kid who loved math, physics and most importantly, astronomy: I was a member of astronomy club for 6 years and went to mountains to take photos of stars, or stayed at the school once every month to sketch Mars or Jupiter by telescopes.
This book might have changed my life it it was out in 15 years ago :)
