Teaser Tuesdays (started on Should Be Reading) asks you to:
Grab your current read (or a book on your shelf that you've read or been wanting to read). Let the book fall open to a random page. Share two (or a few) teaser sentences from that page. Don't forget to share the title and author of the book in case someone is teased into reading. Please avoid spoilers!
I've posted my teaser below. Post yours in the comment section if you'd like to share as well!
One second after the big bang, the universe would have expanded enough to bring its temperature down to about ten billion degrees Celsius. This is about a thousand times the temperature at the center of the sun, but temperatures as high as this are reached in H-bomb explosions.
from A Briefer History of Time by Stephen Hawking
