Explore the deep history and stunning future of the cosmos-along with humanity's place in a vast, cosmic story.
Have you ever looked around you and marveled at the vastness of nature or the depths of time? Cosmic Cycles is a book that challenges us to look beyond ourselves and imagine how far humanity might one day go. Beginning with the image of a single rock, author James Douglas helps readers realize how far history really stretches back and then can repeat itself, going forward. With that understanding, we can begin to see what it might take to reach lasting existence.
From the start of a cycle within the universe to the formation of stars, and finally with the coalescence of that stardust into vibrant, spinning galaxies, everything that exists stems from vast, repeating, cosmic cycles that we must learn to appreciate and recognize if we choose to extend our presence in the universe.
Cosmic Cycles shapes an epic narrative that spans the distant past of the universe, the forces that shaped the Earth, and a vision for our destiny among the stars-even as our descendants grow to resemble us less and less. Bringing together science, philosophy, and creativity, Douglas helps readers understand how rocks form, how gravity and nuclear forces may interact and the hope of long-distance space travel, and more.
Cosmic Cycles is a book for dreamers, artists, visionaries, scientists, and anyone who loves to ponder how we fit into the grand scheme of things. With a humbling call to see ourselves as we really are, this incredible exploration of time's slow, rhythmic movements is a must-read.
