Sixty years ago, Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson discovered the cosmic microwave background, the oldest light in the universe, released shortly after the Big Bang and detectable now as radio waves. Together with other discoveries, this has enabled scientists to put together a remarkably detailed picture of what happened just after the Big Bang. But there remains a missing piece of the puzzle - a quantum theory of gravity. Respected science journalist Keith Cooper looks back 13.8 billion years to the events of those early moments, and goes on to examine the various lines of investigation that we hope will lead to a theory of everything. Could the Universe have extra dimensions, as posited by string theory? Is space itself made up of tiny irreducible loops as in loop quantum gravity? Cooper assesses the possibilities in a highly entertaining overview of the biggest question we will ever face. Book jacket.
