Resumen del Editor
Bloomsbury presents First Light by Emma Chapman, read by Emma Chapman.
Astronomers have successfully observed a great deal of the universe’s history, from recording the afterglow of the big bang to imaging thousands of galaxies, and even to visualising an actual black hole. There’s a lot for astronomers to be smug about. But when it comes to understanding how the universe began and grew up, we are literally in the dark ages. In effect, we are missing the first one billion years from the timeline of the universe.
This brief but far-reaching period in the universe’s history, known to astrophysicists as the ‘Epoch of Reionisation’, represents the start of the cosmos as we experience it today. The time when the very first stars burst into life, when darkness gave way to light. After hundreds of millions of years of dark, uneventful expansion, one by the one these stars suddenly came into being. This was the point at which the chaos of the big bang first began to yield to the order of galaxies, black holes and stars, kick-starting the pathway to planets, to comets, to moons and to life itself.
Incorporating the very latest research into this branch of astrophysics, this audiobook sheds light on this time of darkness, telling the story of these first stars, hundreds of times the size of the sun and a million times brighter, lonely giants that lived fast and died young in powerful explosions that seeded the universe with the heavy elements that we are made of. Emma Chapman tells us how these stars formed, why they were so unusual and what they can teach us about the universe today. She also offers a first-hand look at the immense telescopes about to come on line to peer into the past, searching for the echoes and footprints of these stars, to take this period in the universe’s history from the realm of theoretical physics towards the wonder of observational astronomy.

The ordinary atoms that make up the known universe - from our bodies and the air we breathe to the planets and stars - constitute only 5 percent of all matter and energy in the cosmos. The rest is known as dark matter and dark energy, because their precise identities are unknown. The Cosmic Cocktail is the inside story of the epic quest to solve one of the most compelling enigmas of modern science - what is the universe made of? - told by one of today’s foremost pioneers in the study of dark matter.

Historia
On March 21, 2013, the European Space Agency released a map of the afterglow of the big bang. Taking in 440 sextillion kilometers of space and 13.8 billion years of time, it is physically impossible to make a better map: We will never see the early universe in more detail. On the one hand, such a view is the apotheosis of modern cosmology; on the other, it threatens to undermine almost everything we hold cosmologically sacrosanct.

Historia
In 1959, the Soviet probe Luna 3 took the first photos of the far side of the Moon. Even in their poor resolution, the images stunned scientists: The far side is an enormous mountainous expanse, not the vast lava plains seen from Earth. Subsequent missions have confirmed this in much greater detail. How could this be, and what might it tell us about our own place in the universe? As it turns out, quite a lot. When the Earth Had Two Moons is an astonishing exploration of planet formation and the origins of life by one of the world’s most innovative planetary geologists.

A physicist speeds across space, time, and everything in between showing that our elegant universe from the Higgs boson to antimatter to the most massive group of galaxies is shaped by hidden symmetries that have driven all our recent discoveries about the universe and all the ones to come. Why is the sky dark at night? Is it possible to build a shrink-ray gun? If there is antimatter, can there be antipeople? Why are past, present, and future our only options? Are time and space like a butterfly's wings? No one but Dave Goldberg, the coolest nerd physicist on the planet, could give a hyper-drive tour of the universe like this one.

What is the nature of the material world? How does it work? What is the universe and how was it formed? What is life? Where do we come from and how did we evolve? How and why do we think? What does it mean to be human? How do we know? There are many different versions of our creation story. This book tells the version according to modern science. It is a unique account, starting at the Big Bang and travelling right up to the emergence of humans as conscious intelligent beings, 13.8 billion years later.

Shining a light on the most profound insights revealed by modern physics, Jim Al-Khalili invites us all to understand what this crucially important science tells us about the universe and the nature of reality itself. Al-Khalili begins by introducing the fundamental concepts of space, time, energy, and matter, and then describes the three pillars of modern physics - quantum theory, relativity, and thermodynamics - showing how all three must come together if we are ever to have a full understanding of reality.

Historia
Throughout history, scientists have come up with theories and ideas that just don't seem to make sense. These we call paradoxes. The paradoxes Al-Khalili offers are drawn chiefly from physics and astronomy and represent those that have stumped some of the finest minds. With elegant explanations that bring the listener inside the mind of those who've developed them, Al-Khalili helps us to see that, in fact, paradoxes can be solved if seen from the right angle.

Heavy Britt accent
Had some difficulty understanding some words. Accent seems thick to me, but I'm not great at translating accents, especially for a lexicon I am not fluent in and technical words.
The last couple chapters provided some value, for me. Many of the science books have huge portions of history and this is no exception. I appreciate the "regular reader" approach, but I also desire lots of hard science generously distributed throughout.
The Webb is now active, so that topic is old news. I am not really interested in the detailed ups and downs of the processes for setting up experiments. Some, but not so much. I learned that there really isn't much known about the beginning and that real progress may take anther 7, or so, years. I was hoping for more content on how light first began to radiate and how those interactions truly impacted the speed of development for the rest of the universe.
Interesting topic. Needs more substance. Hire a reader? I'll give it another read to pick up things I missed. Looks to be a major topic when the aparatus is spun up.

Everything you didn't know about stars
If you're looking for a scientific scientifically interesting but still written for the general public this is the audiobook for you. The author does a credible job in a very pleasant British accent of explaining to you how the universe began burst began how the 1st stars formed how they led to our present day existence.

Beanie babies, Mick Jagger and cutting edge cosmology
I have actually listened to this book multiple times. I recommend as Emma Chapman's account of the history of astronomy, the rapid gains in knowledge in just the last 20 years and where the science is headed is just the right speed for the well informed layperson. Various pop culture references keep it light (indeed, she helps describe visible light with a reference to the album cover of Pink Floyd's "DSOTM"). But a joyful and sincere love of what she does cannot be hidden behind her easy humor and clever turn of phrase. I really enjoyed this.

Emma Chapman’s relatable and witty description of the scientific effort that has taken place to find the universes very first stars is quite satisfying. She captures what it’s like to be on a scientific quest and gives us great insight into not only this fascinating topic, but to the overall process of astrophysics and discovery within academia. Beautifully read by the author, and easily one I can strongly recommend to those curious about cosmology and the biggest questions.
