The Three Big Bangs Paperback - 1997
by Philip M. Dauber; Richard A. Muller
Scientists believe that we would not be here if it were not for three great cataclysms in the early history of the universe. This book explores the connection between these events--the "Big Bang" that spawned an entire universe; the explosion of a supernova which seeded the solar system with elements; and the crash of a comet or asteroid that caused the demise of the dinosaurs, clearing the way for the evolution of mammals.
First line
In this book we are going to ask you to imagine a series of events so violent, they dwarf the most vicious crimes that humans have committed against humans and the most horrible natural catastrophes that have taken place on Earth.
From the rear cover
Scientist believe that we would not be here if it were not for three great cataclysms in the early history of Earth and of the universe. This is the first book to explore the deep connection between the events that shaped life on Earth: the 'Big Bang' that spawned an entire universe; the explosion of a supernova, which seeded the solar system with heavy elements; and the crash of a comet or asteroid that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs and clear the way for the evolution of mammals.
