Quarks, Leptons and the big bang
Quarks, Leptons and The Big Bang is a clear, readable and self-contained introduction to particle physics and related areas of cosmology. It bridges the gap between non-technical popular accounts and textbooks for advanced students. The book…
Before the beginning
Explores the repercussions of recent advances in astrophysics on the understanding of the universe and the possibility of life outside the Milky Way
Einstein's biggest blunder
The cosmological constant and other fudge factors in physics
The Big Bang: A Big Bust? The cosmos seems to be in crisis, and you don't have to be a rocket scientist to see it. How, for instance, can the universe be full of stars far older than…
The bigger bang
In the last few years, scientists have begun to answer some of the most fundamental questions about the origin and early evolution of the universe. This book presents a fresh, engaging, and highly readable introduction to these ideas. Using novel,…
Before the big bang
Explores the theory that one single "primeval atom" split and caused a huge explosion that led to a mix of neurons and protons, which, in turn, led to the creation of the galaxy and life as it is now known.
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…
Foundations of modern cosmology
Recent discoveries in astronomy, especially those made with data collected by satellites such as the Hubble Space Telescope and the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, have revolutionized the science of cosmology. These new observations offer the…
In search of the big bang
Where do we come from? How did the Universe of stars, planets and people come into existence? The questions are much older than science -but in the 1980s, for the first time, science is able to answer them, not just in a vague way but in incredible…
Hiding in the mirror
Beginning well before Plato’s allegory of the cave and continuing to modern scientific breakthroughs from relativity to quantum mechanics, as well as to pop cultural icons like Twilight Zone and Star Trek, human beings have imagined, even longed for,…
The big bang never happened
The big bang theory of cosmology - the idea that the universe originated in a single cataclysmic explosion between ten and twenty billion years ago - has become the foundation stone not only of modern astronomy, but also of all current theories of…
