Book, Night, One[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. The enthusiasm of the author, a famous Vietnamese astrophysicist based in the USA, infects the reader with the clarity and exuberance with which he guides us as he embarks on a journey into the depths of the cosmos. Science, lyricism, metaphysics, for Trinh Xuan Thuan are parts of the same equation, of the same adventure. The colorful pages with spectacular images of space-night mix with the metaphysical and dreamlike visions of great artists and writers who made night a metaphor for our existence. In this atmosphere, secrets and mysteries of the Universe are revealed and delicately reinforced, with knowledge and culture. FOURTH COVER Science and poetry come together in an ode to the enchantment of heaven and knowledge. Trinh Xuan Thuan explains and introduces anyone to the phenomena of astrophysics with unusual sensitivity and fluency, drawing on science, art and culture. It does not unravel the mysteries of the deep sky, but rather amplifies them, demonstrating what is known or not about the birth of our Universe. Observing the sky, for a scientist, is traveling through time-space in search of a beginning that, after all, may not even exist. A scientific, lyrical and metaphysical journey through the night. BIG BANG Collection The Big Bang collection seeks titles that explore the big and small questions of science and mathematics in all their aspects, as well as the philosophical thought associated with these fields. It also promotes scientific dissemination to a wide audience in high-level texts.
