Genesis: The Story of How Everything Began

Guido Tonelli, a particle physicist who played a central role in the discovery of the Higgs boson, turns his attention to the biggest story of all: how everything began. Structured around the seven days of biblical creation, Genesis traces the evolution of the cosmos from its earliest origins through the emergence of life on Earth to the birth of human language itself. Along the way, Tonelli considers the immense challenges scientists face in piecing this story together - a tale he suggests is, at times, stranger than our oldest myths, built from the collective effort of countless minds working across generations.
