Sent on a mission of good will to represent Earth on an alien world, Alice isnt quite sure what shell find. With her pet cat Meowhugs, an obnoxious parrot named Mara, and a ship named Joe as her only companions, Alice finds herself trapped on the time-dilating rim of a black hole, escaping just in time to watch the sun devour our solar system. Meanwhile or perhaps at some other time, entirely Amunet and Keku are students in a special school in a 10-Dimensional world. In their classes, they are expected to create Universes out of chaos, divinity, and just a dash of dark energy. But Universe creation is not an exact science, with every attempt requiring its own roll of the dice. When a creator makes a mistake, it rains stars and planets. Is there something they can do to help Alice in her quest for a new home? But, first, Alice will need to survive the perils of being an alien in the worlds she discovers. A blend of literary storytelling and unexpected humor, How to Make a Big Bang: A Cosmic Journey is filled with enough science fact that readers might just learn something along the way. (This is no coincidence, since one of the authors is also a distinguished Theoretical Physics professor.) Will Alice find a new home on one of the planets she discovers? Or will she end up in a cosmic zoo? Or, worse, in the middle of a war which could destroy the entire Universe? Obviously, Alice is in for the story of her life. And, quite possibly, the story of all of our lives.
