swingbeat: 3/26: Big Bang: The Origin of the Universe by Simon Singh

This is another book by Simon Singh, I think the last one by him that I haven't read :). This book
describes the history of science from Greek days (Ptolemic geocentric solar system) to how that all
leads to our understanding of the origin of the universe. He takes the reader step by step, in
normal language (though there are some optional math equations if you really want to look at them),
and talks largely about the way various discoveries were made, as well as the political/historical
context in which they were discovered.
I've always liked Singh's writing style describing how things came to be, and this book is no
exception. I read this book in three days, and it would have been faster if I didn't have a kid :).
