Great space story

How many cubic centimeters are there in all of space? More than a googolplex? Thanks.

Great Listen

I love how Neil Degrasse Tyson can take something so complex and present it in a very understandable format. Great book!

A brief welcome for everyone

I am no physicist. In fact, I generally struggled with the subject throughout my school years. That being said I found this book to be a wonderful way to revisit physics with a fresh perspective. While some sections are very math-heavy the surrounding explanations helped me connect with the content and concepts. I’d recommend this short listen to anyone looking to learn a bit more about our complex world.
