The First Three Minutes: A Modern View of the Origin of the Universe - Softcover

"A most remarkable achievement...presented with clarity...and great scientific accuracy." --T.D. Lee, Nobel Laureate in Physics "The book is the first I have seen to put the details, both historical and conceptual, of the origin of the Universe within the grasp of the general reader... As such, it is a tremendous service to us all." --Isaac Asimov "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, New Yorker "His book is science writing at its best." --Martin Gardner, New York Review of Books

This classic of contemporary science writing by a Nobel Prize-winning physicist explains to general readers what happened when the universe began, and how we know.
