This book presents nine robust chapters, beginning with science basics – the building blocks of the world around us. Next, it gives you a closer look at the observable Universe, with a summary of how the world came into existence and a description of our planet and its environment.

A final chapter looks into astonishing far out topics in physics and cosmology, including the theory of relativity, string theory, and quantum theory.
