Synopsis

Scientists believe that life on Earth would not exist without three great cataclysms: the "Big Bang" that spawned the universe, the explosion of a supernova which seeded the universe with heavy elements, and the collision of a comet with the Earth. This text ties together these three cosmic events.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Scientists believe that we would not be here it were not for three great cataclysms in the early history of Earth and of the universe. This is the first book to explore the deep connection between the events that shaped life on Earth: the Big Bang” that spawned an entire universe; the explosion of a supernova, which seeded the solar system with heavy elements; and the crash of a comet or asteroid that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs and cleared the way for the evolution of mammals.
