书籍简介

你有没有想过你为什么存在？你活着并有意识，这要发生什么？科学家们在回答这个问题上已经取得了很大进展，这本书描述了他们所发现的内容。它还探讨了我们的存在是否在 137.7 亿年前宇宙诞生时是不可避免的——或者我们只是非常幸运。

这本书面向对科学感兴趣但不是专家的读者。故事以有趣且通俗易懂的风格写成，先描述了科学家如何发现事实，然后带领读者从大爆炸到人类基因组的创造。

本书涵盖了物理学、天文学、化学、地球科学、生命的出现、进化、意识、人类的崛起，以及我们的性格是如何被基因、机会和环境塑造的，它解释了宇宙是如何从强烈能量点开始的，随着时间的推移，在宇宙的我们这个角落，形成了我们这个美丽的星球——以及你。

Have you ever wondered why you exist? What had to happen for you to be alive and conscious? Scientists have come a long way in answering this question, and this book describes what they have found out. It also examines whether our existence was inevitable at the universe's birth 13.77 billion years ago--or whether we are just incredibly lucky.

The book is aimed at readers who are interested in science but are not experts. Written in an entertaining and accessible style, the narrative begins by describing how scientists discover facts before taking the reader on a journey from the Big Bang to the creation of the human genome.

Covering physics, astronomy, chemistry, earth sciences, the emergence of life, evolution, consciousness, the rise of humanity, and how our personalities are moulded by genes, chance, and the environment, the journey explains how the universe started as point of intense energy that over time, in our corner of the universe, resulted in our wonderful planet--and in you.
