Se lo chiedono George e la sua migliore amica Annie, dopo aver constatato che Freddy, il porcellino regalato dai nonni al ragazzo, è cresciuto troppo per poter stare in giardino. Intanto, il padre di Annie sta lavorando a un esperimento per scoprire di cosa sia fatto l'Universo e per elaborare, insieme ai suoi colleghi, la Teoria del Tutto, in grado di spiegare ogni fenomeno conosciuto. Ma contro di lui e contro Terence, il padre di George, trama un'organizzazione segreta, legata alle grandi compagnie petrolifere e intenzionata a sabotare le ricerche sulle fonti di energia pulita. L'unico che può fare qualcosa è il dottor Viktor Ermin, ma George e Annie devono raggiungerlo in un'altra galassia! Hawking ci racconta, con la voce sicura e semplice di un grande genio, un viaggio incredibile alle origini della materia, dove le stelle sembrano uguali, ma i sistemi solari distano milioni di anni luce; dove nubi di gas e di materia oscura si alternano a folle di pianeti e asteroidi; dove ogni cosa si è formata nello stesso modo e segue le stesse leggi; e dove, a causa di impercettibili fluttuazioni, ogni cosa è sempre diversa.

Una grande avventura in cui Hawking presenta, con il rigore scientifico e l'estrema semplicità che contraddistingue i grandi geni, le più recenti scoperte della scienza sull'Universo, e ne spiega i misteri. Le stelle sembrano finalmente parlare una lingua comprensibile a tutti.
