Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 304 pages. 298pp. Light wear to laminate (card edges) Foreword by Stephen Hawking. Firm, clean interiorIn this landmark book, one of the twentieth century's greatest astronomers prese nts scientific evidence that our vast universe may be only a grain of sand on th e infinite cosmic shore.It is now widely accepted that our universe exploded aro und 15 billion years ago from an unimaginably energetic initial event: the big b ang. As the primordial material expanded and cooled, it evolved into the exquisi te patterns of stars and galaxies we now observe. The mix of energy and radiatio n that characterizes our universe was imprinted in that initial instantâ? ?ÂÃÂ"as were the binding forces of nuclear physics and gravity that co ntrolled our universe's evolution.The experimental triumphs and theoretical insi ghts of recent yearsâÃÂÃÂ"from the detection of neutrinos from exploding stars to the search for extraterrestrial lifeâÃÂÃÂ" offer the most dramatic enlargement in our concept of the universe since astrono mers first realized the sun's true place among the stars. In this illuminating w ork, Sir Martin Rees, Britain's Astronomer Royal and one of the most creative an d original of contemporary scientists, draws these advances together with up-to- the-minute research on black holes, dark matter, and nucleosynthesis of the elem ents. He also sheds light on some of the personalities behind the science, offer ing first-hand impressions of Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, Stephen Hawking, John Archibald Wheeler, and Fred Hoyle, among others.With stunning clarity, Professor Rees argues that a familyâÃÂÃÂ"even an infinityâàÃÂ"of universes may have been created, each by its own big bang, and each acquiring a distinctive imprint and its own laws of physics. These baby univers.…
