How to Make an Apple Pie from Scratch: In Search of the Recipe for Our Universe, from the Origins of Atoms to the Big Bang

How to Make an Apple from Scratch, is a thrilling search to unlock the cosmic origins of our universe's most fundamental building blocks. Readers are guided through the sources of matter, what matter truly is, and the vast distance it journeys from exploding stars, the Big Bang, and eventually, to ourselves. As Carl Sagan famously joked, "If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.”
