- Jeremy Vine

- Afternoon Edition with Nihal Arthanayake, BBC Radio

- Guy Kelly, Daily Telegraph

- Buzz Aldrin

'A scientific match made in heaven'
- Observer

'Cox and Forshaw stand together at the cutting edge of their discipline ... Despite their elevated status, both men remain tiggerishly excitable about their subject'
- Financial Times

'Mindblowing'br /> - Sunday Times

'I can think of no one, Stephen Hawking included, who more perfectly combines authority, knowledge, passion, clarity, and powers of elucidation than Brian Cox.'
- Stephen Fry, 2009

- Economist

'They do a great job of bringing a difficult subject to life'
- The Times

'If you're not a physicist (or not yet a physicist) and you want to understand what Einstein and relativity theory are all about, you would do well to read this book. The writing is clear, sparkling in places, and totally without vanity ... [A] delightful little book'
- Huffington Post

'Readers will enjoy this engaging, ambitious and creative tour of our quantum universe'
- Guardian
