We are insignificant beings of almost nothing size, living under the stars shining in the cold, dark, frightening void above our heads that is not a void. No matter how difficult it is to understand the universe, which contains all the mystery and perfection of existence, we must fight until the end to do this.
That's exactly why I love reading popular science books and watching documentaries about the universe from time to time and whenever I get the chance. The Universe in a Breath begins by touching on the brief history of cosmology. Many masters such as Bruno, Copernicus, Newton and Einstein are mentioned here and brief information is given about them.
From here we move on to the Solar system, and while very good information is given about almost every planet, satellite and object in the system, up to the Oort cloud, this section cannot end without saluting the hypothetical planet x.
Even though things get a little complicated in the parts about stars and galaxies, the simplicity and simplicity of the narrative continues. In fact, when it comes to interstellar space, even the simplest narrative source will not be able to avoid becoming complicated, as the distances exceed mental measurements and our perception of time will become strange. This is also quite natural.
Things get a little heated in the last chapter, which is the heart of the book and gives a general picture of the entire universe, like a theory of everything. Technical explanation is at the highest level. At this point, I believe that especially the concepts of cosmic background wave radiation and inflation are not explained very well. But overall, I can say that it was an instructive work that was enjoyable to read. Have a good read, my dear astronomy-loving friends.
