Table of ContentsReviews"'Brilliant, ""restructuring the known existing facts"", to make this admirable, entertaining, attractive account of the origin of the Universe.' —Jocelyn Bell Burnell 'Joe Conlon is a marvel. His subject – the origin of the universe and our efforts to comprehend it – is vaster and stranger than anything in English poetry. But these fizzy, nonchalantly rhymed, eminently readable poems are also a masterclass in simile. Rhyming ""fun"" with ""Eddington"" and comparing the expansion of space to a sourdough starter, ""Elements"" and ""Galaxies"" will tell you about the structure of a hydrogen atom, various intriguing characters in the history of modern physics, and why galaxies’ quantum origins (""rough seas of storm-tossed noise"") might resemble Twitter.' —Hannah Sullivan, T. S. Eliot Prize-winning author of Three Poems" "'Brilliant, ""restructuring the known existing facts"", to make this admirable, entertaining, attractive account of the origin of the Universe.' —Jocelyn Bell Burnell" Author InformationJoseph Conlon is a Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Oxford and a fellow of New College.
