Features: This book explores the theme of time and space as its main thread, outlining the process of human understanding of the universe's origin, the age of the Earth, the origin of life, the characteristics of time and space, and the laws of celestial motion in clear language. It guides readers on a long journey of time exploration, starting from the pyramids of Egypt, passing through Stonehenge in England, the North China Plain in China, and then to prestigious institutions such as the University of Cambridge, McGill University, and the University of Chicago, before returning to the vast desert of Ethiopia. The book not only outlines the course of human exploration into the mysteries of the universe but also reflects, from one perspective, the materialist scientific attitude of scientists.
