註釋"How big is infinity? How small is an electron? When will the Sun destroy the Earth? How fast is a nerve impulse in your brain? Why can't you see inside a black hole? What's the hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth? What's the furtherest you can see on a clear night? "From atoms to infinity' takes you on a journey from the furtherest reaches of the known Universe to the tiniest particles that make up life on Earth. With their characteristic flair and unrivalled clarity, world-renowned science authors Mary and John Gribbin explore how our telescopes can see 10 billion years into the past, and why a thimbleful of a neutron star would contains as much mass as all the people on Earth put together. Incredible and thought-provoking, this is a trip at break-neck speed from the infinitesimal to the vast - everything you always wanted to know about science's most amazing discoveries." -- back cover.
