About this ebook

As the twentieth century closed, Fred Adams and Greg Laughlin captured the attention of the world by identifying the five ages of time. In The Five Ages of the Universe, Adams and Laughlin demonstrate that we can now understand the complete life story of the cosmos from beginning to end.

Adams and Laughlin have been hailed as the creators of the definitive long-term projection of the evolution of the universe. Their achievement is awesome in its scale and profound in its scientific breadth. But The Five Ages of the Universe is more than a handbook of the physical processes that guided our past and will shape our future; it is a truly epic story.

Without leaving earth, here is a fantastic voyage to the physics of eternity. It is the only biography of the universe you will ever need.

Ratings and reviews

You gotta be curious about stars, galaxies, and the universe to enjoy this; it's not for everyone. I've been curious since I was a kid and I absolutely adored this book.

I loved this book. It lays out the the past, present, and future of the universe in easy to grasp and easy to visualize terms.
