Our scientists might be armed with giant telescopes and powerful particle accelerators, yet their goal is the same one that has impelled the human imagination since ancient times: to show us our place in the universe. The result of their collective efforts is a complex story. At times it stretches the imagination just as much as the old creation myths. But its building blocks give us the power to work marvels our predecessors could scarcely comprehend. In Genesis, Guido Tonelli sets out 'to do justice to the great origin story that modern science gives us'.

O tempo não é um conceito abstrato. É uma substância material que ocupa todo o universo e se deforma, vibra, oscila. De Newton a Einstein, de Planck ao relógio cósmico, foi protagonista de metamorfoses vertiginosas, fascinantes e monstruosas. O tempo flui? Ou está parado? E como é medido? Como a gravidade o retarda? E como os buracos negros conseguem pará-lo? Sempre vivemos no tempo, que, no entanto, não é eterno.

Keine Kultur kann existieren ohne eine Erzählung von den Ursprüngen. Der italienische Teilchenphysiker und Bestsellerautor Guido Tonelli erzählt in "Genesis" die große Geschichte von der Entstehung unseres Universums, angefangen vom Big Bang und den allerersten Augenblicken danach bis zu unserem Sonnensystem. Sein Buch ist der meisterhafte Versuch, aus dem Wissen der heutigen Astrophysik heraus eine Erzählung von den Ursprüngen zu entwickeln, die nie die Grenzen der Wissenschaft verlässt, sich aber an den großen Mythen messen lassen kann.

What are we made up of? What holds material bodies together? Is there a difference between terrestrial matter and celestial matter? When Democritus stated that we are made up of atoms, few people believed him. Not until Galileo and Newton in the seventeenth century did people take the idea seriously, and it was another four hundred years before we could reconstruct the elementary components of matter.
