A sudden storm points to the world's unpredictability. A marble conjures the birth of the cosmos. </b> <p/><i>How to Love the Universe</i> shows us how everyday objects and events can reveal some of the deepest mysteries in all of science. In ten eye-opening chapters of lyrical prose, Stefan Klein contemplates time, space, dark matter, and more, encouraging us to fall in love with the universe the same way scientists do: The more we know about twenty-first-century physics, the more enchanting our world becomes.
