What makes this book unique is that it not only contains these exciting textual updates but is magnificently enhanced throughout with 240 illustrations. These include satellite images, spectacular colour photographs from the Hubble telescope, and more than eighty full-colour original computer-generated images of three and four-dimensional realities created for this book. Detailed captions clarify these illustrations, enabling readers to experience the vastness of intergalactic space, the nature of black holes, and the microcosmic world of particle physics, in which matter and antimatter collide.
