In “The Book of Genesis,” Guido Tonelli, the famous Italian physicist who was at the forefront of the discovery of the famous Higgs boson, describes the history of the origin of the Universe and the evolution of life on Earth from the point of view of fundamental physics. This book is one of the most succinct, clear and convincing attempts to answer the eternal question of humanity: “What really happened in those first moments?” Fitting 13.8 billion years into the biblical “seven days of creation,” Tonelli takes the reader on a sweeping journey through the history of the cosmos—from the Big Bang and the birth of the Universe to the emergence of life on Earth, human language, and man’s ability to see, understand, and describe the world around him. .
