Publisher's Note An engrossing tale of two decades of adventure in exotic and dangerous climes, where Smoot and his colleagues used radiotelescopes in search of the biggest and oldest objects anywhere--the "seeds" that spawned our universe following the Big Bang. Photos and illustrations.
Industry Reviews "...[A] team of American scientists announced, on April 23, 1992, that they had found the primordial 'seeds' from which our present-day universe has grown. The lead investigator on the team and its chief spokesman was George Smoot, an astrophysicist from the University of California, Berkeley. In his book, 'Wrinkles in Time'...he tells the remarkable tale of his quest for what has been called the cosmologist's Holy Grail....Here is a rewarding entree to modern cosmology, a rare glimpse of important science in the making and a rollicking adventure yarn, all rolled into one." New York Times Book Review - David Darling (01/09/1994)
