From the Big Bang, to Hubble's Law (the farther away a star's light, the faster it is moving away from earth), to a universe that eternally adjusts to achieve balance, to Einstein's Relativity, to Friedmann's alternative universes, Penrose's singularity, to Penzias's and Wilson's background radiation, and on and on. Despite the inherent complexity of the topic, Barrow has briefly, clearly, and logically explained all the theories of the origin of our universe (at least the scientific ones). This is not easy subject matter for me, but this was not terribly difficult reading. But then, this is information that I really wanted to know, which greatly improves my comprehension. Well written and delivers the goods. I understood many things that I had found difficult when written by others. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

There is no more profound, enduring or fascinating question in all of science than that of how time, space, and matter began. Now John Barrow, who has been at the cutting edge of research in this area and has written extensively about it, guides us on a journey to the beginning of time, into a world of temperatures and densities so high that we cannot recreate them in a laboratory. With new insights, Barrow draws us into the latest speculative theories about the nature of time and the "inflationary universe," explains "wormholes," showing how they bear upon the fact of our own existence, and considers whether there was a "singularity" at the inception of the universe. Here is a treatment so up-to-date and intellectually rich, deaing with ideas and speculation at the farthest frontier of science, that neither novice nor expert will want to miss what Barrow has to say. The Origin of the Universe is "In the Beginning" for beginners--the latest information from a first-rate scientist and science writer. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
