Features: The vast universe has always been the object of human admiration and praise. But where did the universe come from? Has it always been this way? For thousands of years, people have left these questions to religion and philosophy. Einstein once said: "The incomprehensibility of the universe lies in the fact that it is comprehensible." This book not only takes you on an exciting scientific journey through the "Big Bang," but its narrative delves deeper into the forefront of modern physics, vividly describing the two marvels of 20th-century physics—general relativity and quantum physics—showing how they converged in cosmological studies in the latter half of the 20th century and ultimately revealed, in a preliminary way, the mystery of the universe's creation.
