Door ruimte en tijd op kraamvisite bij het universum Een revolutionaire ontdekking op de Zuidpool heeft de oerknal dichterbij gebracht dan ooit. Sterrenkundigen hebben het bewijs gevonden dat het heelal kort na de geboorte een enorme groeispurt…

Les observations du télescope spatial Hubble ont brouillé les cartes. En effet, les nouvelles mesures qu'elles ont permises impliquent que les galaxies seraient plus jeunes que les étoiles qu'elles contiennent ! Comment résoudre un tel dilemme…

Paul Davies explains the significance of the amazing quantum universe, where fact is stranger than any science fiction. He takes us into a world where common-sense notions of space, time, and causality must be left behind as the realm of solid matter…

Our universe seems strangely ''biophilic, '' or hospitable to life. Is this happenstance, providence, or coincidence? According to cosmologist Martin Rees, the answer depends on the answer to another question, the one posed by Einstein's famous…

Our Evolving Universe is a lucid, non-technical and infectiously enthusiastic introduction to current astronomy and cosmology. Highly illustrated throughout with the latest colour images from the world's most advanced telescopes, it also provides a…

Part of a series which aims to inform non-specialists about recent scientific developments, this book discusses such topics as quasars, the distribution and formation of galaxies, and the strengths and weaknesses of the inflationary model. The book…

In Our Mathematical Universe, Max Tegmark, one of the most original physicists at work today, leads us on an astonishing journey to explore the mysteries uncovered by cosmology and to discover the nature of reality Part-history of the cosmos,…

Explores the synthesis of relativity, cosmology and quantum physics in the earliest milliseconds of our universe, and the development from the perfect symmetry of creation to the highly complex and asymmetric cosmos we inhabit today.

In 1993, Professor Rees was invited by the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei to give a series of lectures reviewing the progress of cosmology and its future prospects. Based on those lectures, this volume presents a unique synthesis of our understanding…

This is a visual description of the mathematics of space-time. It sets out to provide a sort of "map" of the cosmos, as it is now being revealed by the latest theories of quantum physics. But, just as it is not possible to make a true representation…
