  Cosmic Alchemy - The Science...

  The cosmos, a vast and mysterious expanse, has captivated the human imagination for centuries. From ancient civilizations gazing at the stars to modern scientists peering through telescopes, the desire to understand the universe and our place within it has been a constant driving force in our pursuit of knowledge. In this chapter, we begin our journey into the cosmos, exploring its origin, structure, and the fundamental forces that shape it. 
  The origin of the universe is a topic that has intrigued scientists and philosophers alike. According to the widely accepted Big Bang theory, the universe began as an incredibly dense and hot point around 13.8 billion years ago. This singularity rapidly expanded, and over time, matter cooled, forming the stars, galaxies, and other cosmic structures we observe today. The formation of the universe marks the beginning of everything we know—space, time, and energy. As the universe continues to expand, we are left with the challenge of understanding its past and predicting its future. 
  Gravity is one of the most important forces in the cosmos. It governs the motion of celestial bodies, from the smallest particles to the largest galaxies. Gravity pulls objects together, and it is responsible for the formation of stars, planets, and galaxies. The force of gravity also plays a crucial role in shaping the universe on a cosmic scale, influencing the way matter is distributed and the way galaxies cluster together. Without gravity, the universe as we know it would not exist. It is the force that holds everything together, from the Earth we live on to the farthest reaches of space.

  American tackle football is an industry like any other. And like many industries, it sells a product that is dangerous to those who use it—or, in this case, those who play it. Daniel S. Goldberg explores the connections among traumatic brain injury, collision sports, and the industry's continuing efforts to manufacture doubt. Focusing especially on youths and adolescents—the most vulnerable population that comprises over 99% of tackle football players in the US—Goldberg addresses the ethical and social implications of their participation in tackle football. 
   
   
   
  As the tackle football industry has consistently worked to mask the health hazards, it has used a particular tool that has proved highly effective in achieving this subterfuge: the manufacture of doubt. Goldberg advocates for using public health laws as a tool for countering these efforts at obfuscation, and he outlines specific policy proposals intended to address the population health and ethical problems presented by tackle football. 
   
   
   
  The book draws on public health ethics, public health law, and the histories of occupational and public health to assess the limits of parental choice to expose their children to risks of injury. Chris Nowinski, former Harvard football player and WWE wrestler, provides a timely and insider's perspective on these critical issues in the foreword.
