Over a year on the New York Times bestseller list and more than a million copies sold.

The essential universe, from our most celebrated and beloved astrophysicist.

What is the nature of space and time? How do we fit within the universe? How does the universe fit within us? There’s no better guide through these mind-expanding questions than acclaimed astrophysicist and best-selling author Neil deGrasse Tyson.

But today, few of us have time to contemplate the cosmos. So Tyson brings the universe down to Earth succinctly and clearly, with sparkling wit, in tasty chapters consumable anytime and anywhere in your busy day.

While you wait for your morning coffee to brew, for the bus, the train, or a plane to arrive, Astrophysics for People in a Hurry will reveal just what you need to be fluent and ready for the next cosmic headlines: from the Big Bang to black holes, from quarks to quantum mechanics, and from the search for planets to the search for life in the universe.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Celebrity scientist Tyson's profound intellect is matched by his charm and wit. In this slim title, he attempts to explain some of the most complex astrophysics concepts in layman's terms. Readers should be prepared for a challenging yet edifying experience from the get-go: "In the beginning…all the space and all the matter and all the energy of the known universe was contained in a volume less than one-trillionth the size of the period that ends this sentence." Tyson riffs on topics such as gravity, the speed and makeup of light, the shape of space, and dark matter, maintaining as chatty a tone as possible as he tries to make these important principles comprehensible to the uninitiated. VERDICT Likely to resonate the most with those with a scientific bent, but Tyson's pop culture appeal expands the audience somewhat.—Jamie Watson, Baltimore County Public Library

THE LATEST BOOK

I'm Neil deGrasse Tyson, an astrophysicist and servant of those who are insatiably curious. My latest book "Starry Messenger: Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization" contains the deepest ideas and thoughts that I've ever put to page. But maybe that's for you to decide. The book offers a view "from above" that is unapologetically scientifically literate while addressing topics such as mind & body, conflict & resolution, law & order, gender & identity, color & race, life & death. Often, the most divisive issues in society simply evaporate when you see them embedded in a larger world-view. Starry Messenger is an offering to civilization, to help it find the guide star it lost long ago.

BRIEF BIOGRAPHY

Neil deGrasse Tyson was born in New York City the same week NASA was founded. His interest in the universe traces back to age 9, after a first visit to the Hayden Planetarium of the American Museum of Natural History. He was educated in the public schools of New York City through his graduation from the Bronx High School of Science. And after an BA in Physics from Harvard and a PhD in Astrophysics from Columbia and a Postdoctoral research fellowship at Princeton, Tyson became the Frederick P. Rose Director of the Hayden Planetarium, where he has served since 1996.

I see one or two star reviews because this is difficult to understand for novices or passers-by looking to glean some basics about the cosmos. I believe this is because people read the title and expect the book to contain basic, introductory information. Here the title may be interpreted as a ‘Astrophysics for Dummies’ or ‘Astrophysics 101’ type of study, but the book’s title, and more so the book’s epigraph, (“For all those who are too busy to read fat books yet nonetheless seek a conduit to the cosmos”) suggest that a lot of information is presented in a concise read with a plethora of details shortened in summary. And so it is.

Some low to middling reviews lament Mr. Tyson’s glazing over topics with less detail than would be preferred. Here I believe the brevity offered for each topic is exactly what the title promises: a quick, detailed read with an assumption that the reader has a basic understanding of math and science that informs astrophysics. And so the 12 chapters, each broken in to smaller, quick-burst summaries, provide history and present-day knowledge of the topics that explain mankind’s understanding of the universe.

Granted, I am not an astrophysicist, nor am I of much value to any form of science or math in general, being that I’m massively right-brained, more a musician, poet, satirist, writer, philosopher.

But I love the cosmos! I find a beauty in the universe that quickens my heart, inflates my lungs, consumes my mind, floods my spirit, and allows deep fascination to etch itself within my soul. The unfathomable expanse in which this little blue planet upon which we live exists, like a infinitesimal Lilliputian in a Brobdingnagian sea, is simultaneously mesmerizing and terrifying. In the beauty of what appears to be chaos is actually scientific principle governed by concrete, scientifically sound laws. I find peace and am stilled by the possibilities. Also, Neil deGrasse Tyson’s approach to the universe, and his intense interest in things which affect our daily lives on earth but aren’t particularly relevant to astrophysics, is unique, funny, easily interactive, and deeply moving.

So, yes, I read this book, I understood the basic principles of science, the bases of mathematical models, all concepts absorbed by my artistic lens which is informed by my penchant for learning as an autodidact. I’m greatly pleased! Our universe is gorgeous and the laws that govern its existence are enjoyably complex but herein adroitly explained.

Astrophysics for people in a hurry
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2017

The popularity of this book indicates that many have an interest in our universe home and want to gain a better understanding. The enthusiastic following of the recent solar eclipse also demonstrated that people want to know more about space things. The author does an admirable job of covering many of the current questions being addressed by astrophysicists and providing a fluent description of the universe as it has been observed. If read hurriedly this book will give a good overview of scientific space-think; but if studied too closely it may cause uncertainty about details such as the Big-Bang model that is presented in the text as virtual scientific truth.
Readers should also not let the authors “sparkling wit” and self-declared ego distract them, especially if they are “religious persons” or mechanical engineers as the author seems to disparage both groups Religious people may question that the universe started spontaneously from a tiny dot that seemingly had no origin or precedent. In the absence of any scientific explanation they may wonder if the universe could have possibly been started by an omnipotent intelligent designer. Are we to believe that there is no cause or purpose for the magnificent universe? The author is quick to reject those thoughts because it may lead to a God-concept that many scientists cannot accept. However the author does facetiously suggest that perhaps super intelligent alien wizards may be behind the space-time curtains somewhere pulling all the levers to control things.
The author also apparently gives no slack to mechanical engineers because they are “unrelenting skeptics”. [Disclaimer: I am a retired graduate mechanical engineer and, yes, I am highly skeptical about the Big Bang model singularity concept.]
I am skeptical that the entire universe was ever squashed into an infinitesimal hot spot as small as a proton. I am skeptical that this hot spot was percolating at an “infinite” temperature of billions and billions and billions of degrees Kelvin (count the zeroes). I am skeptical that the Big Bang resulted in a sudden expansion (inflation) of the universe at speeds many – many times greater than the speed of light. The author doesn’t discuss this phase of the Big Bang in any detail, perhaps since he had previously stated that “The Speed of Light…It’s The Law”- constant and universal.
There are some other scientists who see defects in the Big Bang theory such as the mysterious and unknown black matter and black energy that have been added to make the model work. More sophisticated models are being developed although it seems doubtful that mankind will ever be able to fully understand the wonders of the universe and its purpose by scientific analysis alone.
In the last chapter of the book, the author becomes philosophic and, from a cosmic viewpoint, ponders a solution for “society’s racial, ethnic, religious, national, and cultural conflicts.” He envisions a world where everyone will understand our place in the cosmos and earthly differences will fade away. Many religious persons may also have that vision and believe it will come when there is understanding of the original cause and purpose of the universe and its creator.

What a well-rounded and lovely book, I would recommend this to anyone who wants to know more but doesn’t have a degree in the sciences or maths! It really does cover the lot, everything you could want to know about astrophysics (aka space and sciencey stuff!). It is well thought out with nice neat chapters covering the different areas, which range from the very small to the very large, a bit of history and some modern information and facts too of course. All explained in a really friendly down to earth way (excuse the pun) making the complicated stuff as uncomplicated as possible. I think this really is a book for everyone (they should give it out in schools) - if you don’t understand it all then that’s ok, you will have an idea and an understanding of it at least from this book. It really does seem to encompass all of an astrophysicists world in a nutshell – perhaps more. In my opinion the ending was not necessary, however I thought it was a nice touch, albeit a little preachy. Overall please do go and out find a copy of this book to read.

If you love watching Neil deGrasse Tyson in talk-show interviews or his lectures, this book is for you. Physics was my weakest subject out of the sciences in school (I'd like to thank my wonderful high school Physics teacher for going on maternity leave two months in and leaving us with someone who was hard to understand...), but as I've had a fascination with the solar system and astronomy as a child (my first book I wanted in elementary school was from the World of Science store called Astronomy), I can't let go of my curiosity for the universe. I hope everyone gives this book a shot even if it's their first! His explanations are excellent and easy-to-understand.
