About the Book

Finny’s Voyage Through the Universe recounts the events surrounding the “Big Bang,” in a manner that is captivating and educational to children of all ages. It’s a story of the exciting adventure  of Finny, a curious fish, as he travels through space and time with his guide, Mr. Guru, a supercomputer. Finny witnesses the Big Bang explosion, where the very first moment of time and space was born. “A day without yesterday,” announces Mr. Guru as Finny watches the Inflation with awe as our microscopic universe ballooned out in less than a blink of the eye. Finny sees the tiny energetic particles known as the Elementary Particles (Photons, Gluons, X-Particles, Quarks, Electrons, Neutrinos, and others), which are the basic components of the universe, appear on the scene. He hears the conversation and sees the activities of these energetic particles as they combine and create new particles (Protons, Neutrons, Deuterium, etc.), eventually leading up to the formation of the Hydrogen and Helium atoms and finally, to the creation of the stars and the galaxies. With the assistance and explanations of Mr. Guru, Finny and young readers learn about the Big Bang.
