Chaucer was an amateur astronomer; Milton broke bread with Galileo; and before turning to the arts Keats was a doctor. Meanwhile, scientific luminaries like Ada Lovelace and James Clerk Maxwell moonlighted as poets, composing verse between experiments and equations.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFollowing in this tradition, theoretical physicist Joseph Conlon spins a dazzling intergalactic epic. Drawing on his own scientific expertise, Conlon reveals the origins of our universe, through two long-form poems – ‘The Elements’ and ‘The Galaxies’. Journeying from the Big Bang to the edges of our ever-expanding cosmos, \u003ci\u003eOrigins \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a delightful and revelatory adventure through contemporary physics.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57198454178174,"sku":"NW9780861549115","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780861549115.jpg?v=1778532529","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-usa\/products\/origins","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
