	The Canadian Encyclopedia
		The renowned Canadian astrophysicist Hubert Reeves, described recently by an admirer as a “5 foot four inch intellectual giant” and ”the world’s leading expert on the big bang theory” has devoted his life to uncovering the history of the universe and to sharing his knowledge with people around the world.
		Reeves was an apprentice at the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory.
		Reeves often compares his work to that of an historian, and even in his most accessible books the story of cosmic evolution that he recounts inspires not only awe but difficult questions about the past and future of humanity.

		Reeves considers the idea of the big bang and an expanding universe to be the most important scientific discovery of the 20th century.
		Hubert Reeves has shown how numerous other elements can be created (over long periods of time) by chance collisions of high energy protons, gamma rays or cosmic rays, with just these few primordial elements.

		Journalist Dominique Simmonet encourages her three guests-- an astrophysicist (Reeves), an organic chemist (Joel De Rosnay), and an anthropologist (Yves Coppens)--to speculate on the Big Questions.
		Reeves leads off by sketching the story of cosmology from the formation of the basic building blocks of matter in the era after the Big Bang to the coalescence of our sun and its family of planets.
		De Rosnay then examines the conditions believed to have existed on the primitive Earth and how they may have given rise to life-- curiously, this topic is the one most amenable to direct laboratory study, yet in some ways the one about which we are least certain of the details.

	Cosmic Rays, Nuclear Gamma Rays and the Origin of Li, Be and B
		In addition to providing a direct sample of cosmic matter with implications on processes of nucleosynthesis, the cosmic rays also play a major role in the Galactic nucleosynthesis of the light elements, Li, Be and B, which are largely b ypassed in the major processes of nucleosynthesis in stars.
		Hubert Reeves, Willy Fowler and Fred Hoyle showed in 1970 that Galactic cosmic rays interacting with the ambient interstellar medium on a time scale comparable to the age of the Galaxy could have produced most of these light elements.
		This suggests that the bulk of the C and heavier elements in the Galactic cosmic rays are accelerated from supernova ejecta.

		A French writer Jacques Bernadin de St Pierre taught people that dogs were generally of two opposite colours so that we might distinguish them more easily from the furniture when they were inside the house, and that fleas jump instinctively on white colours so that we might kill them more readily.
		One consequence of this belief is that there can exist no unpleasant by-products to muddy the waters in a cloud-cuckoo-land where all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds.
		It is evident that Hubert Reeves has been influenced in the writing of this book by the question 'Why do scientific popularisers so often write only about the wonders of the Universe?' The implication is that...
