How old is the universe? What do the atoms in our bodies, our very existence,
tell us about the history of the universe? How do galaxies form? Michael Rowan-
Robinson answers these questions and encapsulates all that modern astronomy has
discovered about the universe around nine numbers, only one of which is known
with real precision, and four not at all. The reader emerges with a genuine feel
for what we do really know about the universe--and also what we do not.
