{"product_id":"9780861549115","title":"Origins : The Cosmos in Verse by Joseph Conlon","description":"There raged a thumping cosmic ballyhoo,A manic dance - a rumpus to arouseThe universe: of Higgs and W,Electrons, gluons, muons, Zs and taus.For centuries poetry and science have been improbable, yet constant, bedfellows. Chaucer was an amateur astronomer; Milton broke bread with Galileo; and, before turning to the arts, Keats was a doctor. Meanwhile, scientific luminaries like Ada Lovelace and James Clerk Maxwell moonlighted as poets, composing verse between experiments and equations.   Following in this tradition, theoretical physicist Joseph Conlon spins a dazzling intergalactic epic. Drawing on his scientific expertise, Conlon reveals the origins of our universe through two long-form poems - `Elements' and `Galaxies'. Journeying from the Big Bang to the edges of our ever-expanding cosmos, Origins offers a delightful and revelatory adventure through contemporary physics.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56295080100213,"sku":"9780861549115","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780861549115.jpg?v=1762767133","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780861549115","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
