Such awe is shared by astrophysicists, too, as they seek to understand its nature, and whether it has any limits.

The narrative is peppered with quotations from literature and philosophy, andreflects, too, on the process of scientific discovery, and the implications of our discoveries. | The Infinite Cosmos by Joseph Silk, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
