Origins: Fourteen Billion Years of Cosmic Evolution by Donald Goldsmith, Neil deGrasse Tyson

4.0

Neil deGrasse Tyson, one of my favourite author next to Carl Sagan. He tries to disclose the adventure called Origin of cosmic revolution in this book. The Origin, where we actually came from and where we are going the question still unanswered by the scientific community. Looking back to the history of humanity, we became advanced recently, we invented huge telescopes to discover new planets, stars etc. We invented vehicles, ships, airplanes, rockets to travel at a speeder pace. All this happened quite recently within a 500-1000 years timeline. But the history of humanity, the history of this earth is millions of years old. Likewise many civilizations might have formed and destroyed all across this universe. So we can’t say we are on the verge of creation or destruction. Anyway we are all in a quest to find out the Origin. The origin of everything !!!

"We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time…" -T. S. Eliot, 1942
