“Reading Big Bang was a great experience. Simon Singh outlines the evolution of our understanding of the universe from the creation myths of Iceland, West Africa, China and Greece to the science of cosmology. I found it very exciting. If you wonder how we got from myths like the Greeks believing the sun was a fiery chariot driven across the sky by Helios to seeing via the Hubble Space Telescope, gravitational lensing, as proposed by Einstein, this is the book for you. I'm not a scientist - I just like to read about it.”
“One should have a considerable background in Physics, Astronomy, and a bit of Mathematics. Then the boom would be quite pleasing to read .”
