From the Big Bang to You

From the first moment of the universe to the rise of life and consciousness, this book follows the scientific story of how everything came to be. It begins with the Big Bang, when space and time first appeared, and traces the path from elementary particles to atoms, stars, planets, and the chemistry that made life possible. Each chapter explores a new stage in the development of the universe and explains what modern science believes about the creation of matter, the formation of galaxies, the rise of early life, the evolution of intelligence, and the emergence of the human mind.

This book is written in clear, calm language designed to make even the most complex ideas easy to understand. It guides readers through the foundations of physics, the structure of the cosmos, the nature of time and space, and the remarkable steps that turned simple molecules into living beings. It shows how the universe evolved over billions of years and how every person is connected to that long history.

This is not a spiritual book, yet it acknowledges the mystery and wonder behind the scientific process. It presents the universe as science understands it and invites readers to consider their own place within that story. The goal is simple. To help you understand how everything began and how the same laws that shaped stars and galaxies also shaped you.
