The Edge of the Sky: All You Need to Know About the All-There-Is

Name: The Edge of the Sky: All You Need to Know About the All-There-Is
Author: Roberto Trotta

by Roberto Trotta

What emerges is a narrative that explains some of the most complex science in modern astrophysics, told in language that sounds like a translation of ancient storytelling, like the folkloric fables of African mythology, the kinds of tales written before we had the words for phenomena, before we had the understanding that demanded those words.
