Mysteries of the Universe

Answerable and Unanswerable Questions

Does alien life exist? Is time travel possible?
How did the Universe begin and how will it end?
Is the future pre-determined?

These are just some of the fascinating questions posed in this book which stretches across physics, the life sciences and cosmology. Each chapter considers a separate question and ends with either an answer or, if there is insufficient evidence, a 'best guess' answer.

For every question addressed here-be it time travel, multiple universes, intergalactic travel, or the end of the world-the author has tried to exhaust all possibilities before arriving at a conclusion. Everyone will have their own opinion but one thing is certain-
Mysteries of the Universe will fascinate, educate, and stimulate.

"I really like the premise of this book... The questions are just those that a lay person wants the answers to and the division into answerable and unanswerable makes a distinction that is not always apparent."
