This book takes the reader on a captivating journey through the different cosmological theories that humanity has forged to explain the great enigma of our origins.
Starting with the colorful mythical narratives of ancient civilizations, moving through the revolutionary ideas of Greek philosophers seeking natural principles, and culminating in the modern "Big Bang theory," the author unravels how human ingenuity has tried to unveil the ultimate secrets of creation.
With an engaging yet rigorous style, the intricate universe models of thinkers such as Anaximander, Democritus, Aristotle, or Ptolemy are analyzed, contrasting their visions with those of mystics.
After critically reviewing the inconsistencies of the current dominant Big Bang theory, the author ventures to outline his own theory of the origin of the universe, with a primordial cosmos constituted by a "great amorphous ice" that encapsulated the generative potential from which everything that exists emerged.
The book presents a new theory of the origin of the universe, answering in a logical and rational way the mysterious origin that contains us and of which we are a part.
