Biographical note
Professor Brian Cox CBE FRS is Professor of Particle Physics at the University of Manchester and the Royal Society Professor for Public Engagement in Science. He has worked on the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, the HERA accelerator at DESY and the Tevatron accelerator at Fermilab. Cox has written and presented numerous TV series for the BBC, including the Wonders Trilogy, Forces of Nature, The Planets and The Universe. He is also the co-presenter of The Infinite Monkey Cage.
Professor Jeff Forshaw is a theoretical physicist and Professor of Particle Physics at the University of Manchester. Together with Professor Cox, he has written three bestselling science titles: Why Does E=mc²?, The Quantum Universe and Universal. He was awarded the 1999 James Clerk Maxwell Medal by the UKâs Institute of Physics to recognise outstanding early career contributions to theoretical physics and the 2013 Kelvin Medal for outstanding and sustained contributions to public engagement.
<p>âAn AMAZING thing to read. So SATISFYING, I REALLY RECOMMEND reading this bookâŚFASCINATINGâ Jeremy Vine</p>
<p>âFASCINATING⌠a MIND BOGGLING new bookâ <em>Afternoon Edition with Nihal Arthanayake</em>, BBC Radio</p>
<p>âThere are few better than Cox at turning tricksy, potentially dense subjects into captivating âedutainmentâ for the masses â be it in BBC documentaries, live shows or books. Not for nothing did Sir David Attenborough once proclaim: âIf I had a torch I would hand it to Brian Cox.ââ Guy Kelly, <em>Daily Telegraph</em></p>
<p>âA spellbinding cosmic exploration that resists collapsing under the weight of jargon.â Kirkus Reviews</p>

<strong>Praise for Professors Brian Cox & Jeff Forshaw</strong>
</p>
<p>âThey have blazed a clear trail into forbidding territory, from the mathematical structure of space-time all the way to atom bombs, astrophysics and the origin of mass.â <em>New Scientist</em></p>
<p>'Inspirational' Buzz Aldrin</p>
<p>âA scientific match made in heavenâ <em>Observer</em></p>
<p>âCox and Forshaw stand together at the cutting edge of their discipline ⌠Despite their elevated status, both men remain tiggerishly excitable about their subjectâ <em>Financial Times</em></p>
<p>âMindblowingâ <em>Sunday Times</em></p>
<p>âI can think of no one, Stephen Hawking included, who more perfectly combines authority, knowledge, passion, clarity, and powers of elucidation than Brian Cox.â Stephen Fry, 2009</p>
<p>âAdmirably shies away from dumbing downâ <em>Economist</em></p>
<p>âThey do a great job of bringing a difficult subject to lifeâ <em>The Times</em></p>
<p>âIf you're not a physicist (or not yet a physicist) and you want to understand what Einstein and relativity theory are all about, you would do well to read this book. The writing is clear, sparkling in places, and totally without vanity ⌠[A] delightful little bookâ <em>Huffington Post</em></p>
<p>âReaders will enjoy this engaging, ambitious and creative tour of our quantum universeâ <em>Guardian</em></p>
