500    Guiding us through Einstein's theory of relativity, 
       quantum mechanics, and string theory, Astronomical 
       explains the baffling mysteries of the cosmos: from alien 
       life to the zodiac; from white holes to wormholes; from 
       quasars to quark stars--all within a narrative that is as 
       entertaining as it is edifying. 
504    Includes bibliographic references (pages 179-189) and 
       index. 
520    Does the Big Bang prove the existence of God? What's the 
       Universe expanding into? Is Earth the only planet which 
       supports life?  Space is the biggest, oldest, hottest, 
       coldest, strangest thing a human can study. It's no 
       surprise then, that the weirdest facts in science (not to 
       mention the weirdest scientists themselves) are found in 
       astrophysics and cosmology.  If you're looking for 
       instructions on how to set up your grandad's telescope 
       this book probably isn't for you. In Astronomical, Tim 
       James takes us on a tour of the known (and unknown) 
       universe, focusing on the most-mind boggling stuff we've 
       come across, as well as unpacking the latest theories 
       about what's really going on out there.  Guiding us 
       through Einstein's relativity, quantum mechanics and 
       string theory, Astronomical delves into the baffling 
       corners of the cosmos and tackles the biggest mysteries we
       face: from alien life to the zodiac; from white holes to 
       wormholes; from quasars to quark stars. This is the 
       science of space at its absolute strangest.
