This isn't a bad book, but the interesting questions - like dark matter and FTL travel are lost in the more ridiculous discussions about the leaders of the world being reptilian aliens, and Occult workings to bring the son of Satan into the world. Confused? Don't be. This book is just an eclectic collection of 'fringe science' speculations - which could of course lean towards the Occult, the science fiction, or the purely tinfoil hat balderdash; everything goes.

I guess I'm just not conspiratorially minded enough to fully enjoy this book, but there's a lot of food for thought here, I'll admit. Or at least: food for trivia! I have a lot of wiki-ing and youtube-ing ahead of me!

The edge of science discusses many of the universe's mysteries including it's origin, dark matter and the ultimate fate. It also goes quite deep into many paranormal phenomena citing various theories and possibilities. This mix makes the book an interesting read..
