Of the many dozens if not hundreds of books on physical science for the general reader which I have read, this one may well be the very best! The writing is very clear and extremely careful, standing head and shoulders above the norm for the qualifications that are offered for initial brief statements. I do not agree with all the conclusions the author reaches, but in every case the authors reasons for his conclusions are clear and well stated and I understand the sources of our disagreements. On top of all this, the subject is fascinating and delightfully presented! P.S. Don't ignore the notes at the back of the book. They are a treasure.

Despite glowing reviews from well known science authors, this book will leave the reader frustrated and/or bored. It violates Einstein's rule ' that everything should be explained as simple as possible but not any simpler'.
Also, you get the impression quickly that the author, Sean Carroll, could have expressed his ideas more clearly in a 15 to 20 page article versus a 375 page collection of random ideas in cosmology.
