I really enjoyed this book. So much so that I've decided to leave my current employment and attend university to get my BSc and then Phd in particle physics... might have to study maths a bit first, but I am sure it will be fine!
The whole thing is written in engaging prose and simple enough that even I understood some of it... might need to read it all a few times more to truly grasp a few more bits.

Throughout my life (15 years) I have been watching documentaries and listening to podcasts by Brian cox , it’s something helped to trigger my love for learning about space . I really enjoyed this book, the doodles and comic strips really helped the pacing of the book and it felt a bit like the podcasts but as book where more detail could be given. Which I really loved! I recommend it a lots

This is an open-mindingly incredible book about our universe and how it works in its very detailed (yet simplified) theories, fascinating curiosities and original ideas on how to percieve a universe full of question marks and unknown faces. It is so weird yet curious how little we know about what surrounds us and still manage to discover more and more though time. How can something come out of nothing? This is what fascinates me most and pushed me further deep into the reading as I was kind of struggling in the middle paragraph. The great thing about it is its incredible power to inspire deeper research and plant curiosity into the minds of its readers. It was definitely a bit of a challenge for me to read since it was my first scientific read ever, but it inspired me to keep reading and looking for answers whether that is in books or in unbeaten paths discovering new theories and possibly getting progressively closer to the truth, taking one step closer to discovering a future of endless possibilities for our species and many others and for the discovering of places and life into the apparently dark and cold space that surrounds us. It inspired me to keep looking and fighting to contribute in the helping of future generations and species as well as it made me deeply interested in physics, astrophysics and cosmology pushing me to keep studying them as they might be what I want to pursue as a life carreer. I would definitely reccommend though language is not quite easy at first. I personally loved it. It completely changed my perspective of the world and made me consider everything in a ore methodic, scientific way.
