Her Şeyin Nedeni

It is now an archaic view that science is concerned with the question of how, not the question of why. Nowadays, science investigates the cause of everything. Why is there life? Why is the world this way? Why are we smart? Why haven't we encountered other intelligent creatures in space? These and thousands of similar why questions are now at the center of science's attention. Of course, as questions are answered, new questions arise. But Gribbin's book shows the current limits of his science. In this book you can find the most basic questions that can and cannot be answered.

The Reason for Everything questions the Earth's place in the universe. Can one planet make a difference among billions? Gribbin argues that this may be possible. For example, one of the most important events that affected life on Earth was the impact of a "super comet" on Venus 600 million years ago. With examples like these, Gribbin examines cosmic events that affect intelligent life on Earth.

"The author of over a hundred popular science books, Gribbin offers a comprehensive and lyrical survey of others in The Why of Everything."
-Lewis Dartnell, Times Higher Education-

"We have known since Copernicus that we are not the center of the Universe... Flu shows that life is also an ordinary natural phenomenon."

"An extraordinary story that spans space and time... This book tells how successive cosmic events made Earth a planet suitable for life."
