We all know on some level what the Big Bang is, but we don't know how it became the accepted theory, or how we might know what came before. In \"Before the Big Bang,\" Brian Clegg (the critically acclaimed author of \"Upgrade Me \"and \"The God Effect\") explores the history of this remarkable concept. From the earliest creation myths, through Hershel's realization that the Milky Way was one of many galaxies, to on-going debates about Black Holes, this is an incredible look at the origins of the universe and the many theories that led to the acceptance of the Big Bang. But in classic scientist fashion Clegg challenges the notion of the \"Big Bang\" itself, and raises the deep philosophical question of why we might want to rethink the origin of the universe. This is popular science at its best, exploratory, controversial, and utterly engrossing. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBRIAN CLEGG is the author of \u003ci\u003eA Brief History of Infinity\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe First Scientist\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003ci\u003eA Life of Roger Bacon\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eLight Years\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003ci\u003eThe Extraordinary Story of Mankind's Fascination with Light, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eUpgrade Me: Our Search for Human 2.0\u003c\/i\u003e.
