Before the Big Bang

<p>**A DAILY TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE YEAR 2022**\nOne of the world's most celebrated cosmologists presents her breakthrough explanation of our origins in the multiverse.\nIn recent years, Laura Mersini-Houghton's ground-breaking theory, spectacularly vindicated with observational evidence, has turned the multiverse from philosophical speculation to one of the most compelling and credible explanations of our universe's origins.\nIn Before the Big Bang, she interweaves the story of how she arrived at this theory with her journey from communist Albania, where she was born and brought up, to the West, showing how her unconventional path helped her to challenge orthodoxies and become one of the most courageous thinkers on the world stage of theoretical physics.\n'Fascinating' Roger Penrose, Nobel laureate, and author of The Road to Reality\n'There is no better guide to the bizarre, and sometimes paradoxical, cosmic super-realm than Laura Mersini-Houghton' Paul Davies, author of What's Eating the Universe?\n'A fascinating and unusual hybrid of pop science and memoir' 5*, Stephen Poole, Daily Telegraph\n'From one of the world's most renowned cosmologists ... a fascinating read' Stephon Alexander, author of Fear of a Black Universe</p>

Before the Big Bang: The Origin of Our Universe from the Multiverse

The Bodley Head, Ltd.

<p>What came before the Big Bang, and what exists outside of the universe it created?\nUntil recently, scientists could only guess at what lay past the edge of spacetime. But as pioneering physicist Laura Mersini-Houghton explains, today new scientific tools are giving us the ability to peer beyond the limits of our universe and test our theories about what is there. Her groundbreaking research suggests that we sit in a quantum landscape whose peaks and valleys hide a multitude of other universes, and whose topography holds the secret to the origins of existence itself. Recent evidence has revealed the signatures of one such sibling universe in our own night sky, confirming Mersini-Houghton's theoretical work and offering humbling proof that our universe is just one member of an unending cosmic family.\nA mind-expanding journey through the multiverse, Beyond the Big Bang will reshape our understanding of humanity's place in the unfathomable vastness of the cosmos.</p>
