PDF-(BOOK)-The Zoomable Universe: An Epic Tour Through Cosmic Scale, from Almost Everything

An epic fullcolor visual journey through all scales of the universeIn The Zoomable Universe the awardwinning astrobiologist Caleb Scharf and the acclaimed artist Ron Miller take us on an epic tour through all known scales of reality from the largest possible magnitude to the smallest Drawing on cuttingedge science they begin at the limits of the observable universe a scale spanning 1027 metersabout 93 billion lightyears And they end in the subatomic realm at 1035 meters where the fabric of spacetime itself confounds all known rules of physics In between are galaxies stars and planets oceans and continents plants and animals microorganisms atoms and much much more Stops along the wayall enlivened by Scharfs sparkling prose and his original insights into the nature of our universeinclude the brilliant core of the Milky Way the surface of a rogue planet the back of an elephant and a sea of jostling quarksThe Zoomable Universe is packed with more than 100 original illustrations and infographics that will captivate readers of every age It is a whimsical celebration of discovery a testament to our astounding ability to see beyond our own vantage point and chart a course from the farthest reaches of the cosmos to its subatomic depthsin short a musthave for the shelves of all explorers.
