The Dark Matter Problem A Historical Perspective
Most astronomers and physicists now believe that the matter content of the Universe is dominated by dark matter: hypothetical particles which interact with normal matter primarily through the force of gravity. Though invisible to current direct…
The early universe
The Early Universe has become the standard reference on forefront topics in cosmology, particularly to the early history of the Universe. Subjects covered include primordial nucleosynthesis, baryogenesis, phases transitions, inflation, dark matter,…
The Early Universe: Facts and Fiction (Theoretical and Mathematical Physics)
In this corrected and enlarged edition of Brner's well respected textbook, you will find an up-to-date account of the interplay between particle physics and astrophysics upon which modern cosmology is founded. The author describes some of the…
The edge of infinity
Beyond the Black Hole: Naked Singularities and the Destruction of Spacetime.
Originally published in 1981, this book provides readers with an introduction to the physics of the black hole, the focus of Stephen Hawking's research and one of the most…
The elegant universe
In a rare blend of scientific insight and writing as elegant as the theories it explains, Brian Greene, one of the world's leading string theorists, peels away the layers of mystery surrounding string theory to reveal a universe that consists of 11…
The first three minutes
Our universe has been growing for nearly 14 billion years. But almost everything about it, from the elements that forged stars, planets, and lifeforms, to the fundamental forces of physics, can be traced back to what happened in just the first three…
The five ages of the universe
As the twentieth century closed, Fred Adams and Greg Laughlin captured the attention of the world by identifying the five ages of time. In The Five Ages of the Universe, Adams and Laughlin demonstrate that we can now understand the complete life…
The Inflationary Universe: The Quest for a New Theory of Cosmic Origins
Just about everyone in the scientific community accepts the theory that our universe began in a "big bang"--but that theory leaves numerous unanswered questions about why the cosmos formed in just the manner we observe today. In The Inflationary…
The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics)
Einstein's General Theory of Relativity leads to two remarkable predictions: first, that the ultimate destiny of many massive stars is to undergo gravitational collapse and to disappear from view, leaving behind a 'black hole' in space; and secondly,…
The Last Three Minutes (Science Masters)
The last three minutes of the universe has been the subject of much scientific and lay speculation for many years. Now, Paul Davies clearly and concisely sets out the arguments for three possible outcomes:
1) the universe will go on expanding…
