Timothy Ferris, profesor emérito de la Universidad de California y maestro indiscutible de la literatura de divulgación científica, nos cuenta en La aventura del universo la apasionante historia de cómo el hombre ha ido descubriendo el escenario cósmico en que habita, desde Aristóteles hasta las más modernas visiones del origen y el fin del universo. El mérito de este libro no reside tan sólo en hacer comprensibles unas teorías científicas complejas, sino en haber acertado a explicar esta «historia» con una extraordinaria amenidad y haber conseguido infundirle calor humano, al mostrarnos a los investigadores como hombres enfrentados a un reto: a Kepler, esforzándose por definir la órbita de Marte; a Galileo que sigue especulando sobre el universo mientras permanece encerrado por la Inquisición; al joven Edward Tryon, exponiendo, entre las risas de sus colegas, unas hipótesis que conducirían al desarrollo de la teoría de la inflación del universo.
