As far as we can see there are countless other galaxies of all shapes and sizes set within an ever-expanding space that was created in a "Big Bang" nearly 14 billion years ago. Along with solutions to old puzzles, however, come new riddles, as most of our Universe appears to be in the form of some kind of unseen "dark matter" and incomprehensible "dark energy" whose natures and origins remain unfathomable.

Where does The Modern Scholar rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Easily in the Top 10
What did you like best about this story?
Two Things: 1) Each lesson logically flowed to the next and steadily built a base of knowledge that prepared me to understand the next topic. 2) Kaler is committed to clearly focusing on key concepts and facts and is careful not to overwhelm the listener. His measured progression was brilliant.
What does the narrator bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Kaler is an expert astronomer and passionate teacher. I would enjoy spending time with him in the class room or over a cup of coffee.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I never got tired of listening to Kaler but I preferred listening to one lecture at the time.
