All About Space editor Gemma Lavender pens a compact guide to what the universe is, how it was formed and why studying it matters.
Space.com: The universe is literally such a big topic. How did you choose the things to distill in this beginner's guide?I wanted to ensure that a complete overview of the universe was given, while ensuring that each of the sections are in bite-sized chunks.
Space.com: Science is built on math, so how did you teach readers the things they need to learn about topics like quantum physics, without bringing them through so many equations?I have to admit, this was a challenge for me when I first begin writing. Having a background in astrophysics meant that I often talked in equations and numbers, but knowing who you're speaking to before you begin writing means that you naturally leave the equations out.
Space.com: What most surprised you when you were writing the book or assembling all the bits for publication?No matter how long you've been producing content about the universe, you'll learn something new about it everyday — there is always something that's truly mindboggling to know. I'll forever be amazed by how big the universe is, or at least our predictions of its size, how we think it sprang into existence and how we think it'll end.
