Time & space - John Gribbin|Mary Gribbin

We live on one small planet
circling a star we call the Sun that is just one of 100 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy. Our galaxy is just one among many millions in the Universe
which was born in the Big Bang
when time and space actually began. Space is what we move around in
in three dimensions
left and right
forwards and backwards
up and down. We can move around in space from one place to another. Time is less controllable. We seem to move forward through it - whether we like it or not. We cannot go back to the past
nor can we jump forward to the future. Scientists describe time as the fourth dimension
and combine time and space as one entity called spacetime. Featuring stunning photographs of historical scientific apparatus
experiments
and innovative 3-D models
Time & Space is a unique and exciting introduction to the discoveries and research that have transformed our understanding of the universe.
