Krátky popis
Imagine how different our world would be if our ancestors had
looked up and there were no stars . . .For tens of thousands of
years, the stars were our constant companions.One of our species'
most enduring and universal relationships has been with the night
sky itself, yet in the glow of today's artificial lighting, we have
forgotten this intimacy with the cosmos.Stargazing has shaped the
course of human civilization. The rhythm of our ancestors' lives
revolved around the stars, from cycles of agriculture to patterns
of birth. Origin myths made the Sun into a life-giving creator and
the Milky Way a gateway for departed souls.The motion of celestial
bodies sustained the illusion that the Earth was at the centre of
the cosmos - until looking at them more closely sparked the
Scientific Revolution. Across the ages stars have served as clocks,
maps, compasses, muses, and gods, defining our laws of reality and
our dreams of the sublime.Leading cosmologist Roberto Trotta
imagines a world without stars, a dramatic alternate history in
which we wouldn't understand gravity, couldn't navigate or have
much sense of time, and where our sense of the profound was altered
beyond recognition. Starborn will change how you think of the night
sky forever.
