The First Three Minutes: A Modern View of the Origin of the Universe
"Weinberg builds such a convincing case...that one comes away from his book feeling not only that the idea of an original cosmic explosion is not crazy but that any other theory appears scientifically irrational."--Jeremy Bernstein, The New Yorker
"The book is the first I have seen to have put the details, both historical and conceptual, of the origin of the Universe within the grasp of the general reader."--Isaac AsimovA

Rereading “The First Three Minutes” by Steven Weinberg at work and, weirdly, this line gave me so much hope: “The idea of a universe filled with galaxies like our own became widely though by no means universally accepted by the beginning of the nineteenth century.” 1/
