George and the Secrets of the Universe

In the Universe on an asteroid - it can't be!
It can! - there is no doubt about the famous astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, his daughter Lucy and former postgraduate student and now popularizer of science Christophe Galfar, who in September 2007 presented their first book for children about the adventures of George and his friends in the Universe. In this lively and cheerful book they told children about fantastically interesting subjects - black holes, quasars, asteroids, galaxies and parallel universes. The authors especially emphasize that they wanted to "present a modern view of cosmology from the Big Bang to the present day without any magic." The only magical character in the book is a supercomputer that opens the door to the Universe for George and his friends.
This is a story about space adventures that friends go on to learn more about the world we live in. It is also a story about the laws of physics that govern this world. But above all else, this is a story about a lonely boy named George and how his life has changed since the day he met his new neighbors, Annie and Eric. Annie loves ballet more than anything in the world, and her father, Eric, a space scientist, loves space more than anything in the world. Eric is helped by a supercomputer named... "Cosmos". This computer is so powerful and so smart that it can draw doors through which you can get to any point in the universe (of course, while wearing a spacesuit - because it is terribly cold out there in outer space!). And while George and his friends explore outer space, "Cosmos" controls the flight ... if it is there, of course. But in any book, even in a science-adventure book, there are evil forces that... However, we will not tell the plot in advance, because very soon you will find out for yourself.
The European premiere of the book took place in September 2007 in France and the UK. The book will soon be translated into many languages ​​and will be sold in 29 countries.
