Mapping the Heavens

Listeners will be mesmerized by this audiobook as it unfolds its little-known cosmological booty. Using pacing, expression, and a confident tone, narrator Elisabeth Rodgers gives a flawless performance. For the armchair cosmologist the acronyms are many, and the words they represent even more mind-boggling. For instance, the big bang theory of how the universe began has been proven because scientists identified CMBR (cosmic microwave background radiation), a hissing sound that is a known remnant of the big bang. Cosmologists not content with this are now looking to discover other universes in what they call "the multiverse." It's a spellbinding listen with a super guide. E.E.S.
