ISBN: 9781911709091 - on the origin of time: the sunday times bestselling physics book exploring 'stephen hawking’s biggest legacy' (1 Ergebnisse)

Softcover. Zustand: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren. A groundbreaking theory of the universe, developed over two decades by Stephen Hawking and Thomas Hertog, addresses the profound question of how the universe created conditions so conducive to life. Hawking's early explorations of the big bang led to a crisis when mathematics suggested a multiverse filled with bizarre realities, many inhospitable to life. At Cambridge, Hawking and Hertog collaborated intensively, uncovering a new quantum theory of the cosmos. Their research revealed a deeper evolutionary process where physical laws evolve and simplify, suggesting a time when perhaps there was no time. This culminated in a revolutionary idea: the laws of physics are not immutable but evolve alongside the universe they govern. The narrative explores extreme quantum physics, black holes, and the big bang, incorporating recent advances in string theory. As Hawking's life neared its end, the duo published a final theory that presented a radical Darwinian perspective on the universe's origins. Hertog's insights connect the universe's birth to our existence, fundamentally altering our understanding of our place in the cosmos and potentially cementing Hawking's legacy.…
