Origins #2

The intended audience of "Origins" is , luckily, not one that is well versed in physics and astronomy terminology. While not making it sound like the reader is completely clueless, the authors discuss the laws of physics and how they apply to the creation of the Universe using scientific language, but still managing to keep it understandable. The audience does need some knowledge of science, at least the high school classes. Having not finished high school myself, the book can get a little confusing and I am forced to accept that I can't understand some parts of the science lingo, but overall, I feel very confident in my understanding of the book. The description of the Big Bang is especially understandable; I was finally able to put all those hours of studying AP chemistry to work. The book often makes references to higher levels of science; things that only a person with a PHD in physics would know, like the subtle nuances of quarks in the Quark-Lepton period of the Universe after the Big Bang. But understanding these references are not imperative to understanding the gist of the passage. The authors expertly make the book for both people highly educated in science and those with hardly any education on the subject by including information that interest both. So really, to revise myself, the intended audience of the book is both people with extensive education on the subject and people who may not have as much knowledge on the subject.
