The Big Bang Book

Asa Stahl, illustrated by Carly Allen-Fletcher

This book examines the question of how the universe began and considers humanity’s place within it. It presents current scientific knowledge about the Big Bang while also recognizing what remains unknown. Written by an astrophysicist, the account frames the universe’s origins as an ongoing mystery rather than a settled story. Its subject is the formation of the universe and the limits of what scientists can explain about that beginning.
