History of the Universe for Beginners

You look up at a clear night sky and wonder how any of it began. Then you open a science book and lose the thread in a fog of numbers and jargon.

This audiobook tells the history of the universe as one continuous story, from the first fraction of a second after the Big Bang to the moment you press play. Each chapter takes a single big idea, such as the first atoms, the first stars or the birth of galaxies, and ends with a short recap so nothing slips away. Vivid comparisons stand in for long lists of figures. When scientists still disagree, as they do over the exact age of the universe, you hear that honestly.

By the final chapter you will understand how our Sun and Earth formed, and how the atoms in your own body were forged inside ancient stars. Press play, and let one calm, warm voice walk you through all of it.
