know) about the universe and how it is put together' Bill Bryson Celebrated physicist and

conundrums In the constellation of Eridanus there lurks a cosmic mystery. It's as if something

universe better than the history of our own planet but they continue to uncover startling new
riddles-the hole in the universe being just one. In this electrifying book award-winning
