What is time? What is the universe? And where did it all come from Award-winning writer Marcus Chown takes us on an unforgettable journey from the recognition of the force of gravity in 1666 to the discovery of gravitational waves in 2015. And, as we stand on the brink of a seismic revolution in our worldview, he brings us up to speed on the greatest challenge ever to confront physics.Marcus Chown is a writer and broadcaster who has won numerous awards.
