In the 21st century, astronomy has entered a new age-not just of discovery, but of wonder.
Cosmic Frontiers journeys through the most profound questions now emerging from modern science:
Why do galaxies form earlier than they should? What is dark matter, dark energy, and the quantum fabric of reality? Is life common among the stars-or is consciousness itself a cosmic phenomenon?
From the James Webb Space Telescope's revelations of ancient galaxies to the search for biosignatures on distant exoplanets, from the detection of gravitational waves to the mysteries of quantum gravity and the multiverse, this book weaves together science, philosophy and the human spirit into a single cosmic narrative.
Written in vivid, poetic prose, Cosmic Frontiers is not only about what we have discovered-it is about what we still don't understand and why those unanswered questions may be the most important of all.
For readers who loved Astrophysics for People in a Hurry, The Order of Time, or Cosmos, this is a visionary exploration of where science meets meaning - at the edge of the known universe.
