Barrow describes these finds and then goes on to explain how they allow us to reach back and shed light upon events at the dawn of time. What does it mean to say that the universe appeared out of nothing? Did it need a beginning, and will it ever end? Why do we think that most of the universe is invisible? The ideas that cosmologists are wrestling with are challenging and extraordinary: here they are explained with unfailing fluency.

Vroeger bogen vooral theologen en filosofen zich over de vragen hoe het heelal ontstaan is en of We met het doorgronden van het heelal iets kunnen zeggen over de toekomst. Nu is de speurtocht naar een allesomvattende verklaring de essentie geworden van onze theorieën over het heelal. Hedendaagse natuurkundigen denken dat ze de sleutel tot het heelal hebben gevonden en dat die ontdekking zal leiden naar een Theorie Over Alles: een eenduidig, allesomvattend beeld van de natuurwetten waaruit met een ijzeren logica alles te verklaren valt. Is die gedachte niet al te optimistisch? Kunnen onze theorietjes en de berekeningen van door mensen ontwikkelde computers ons werkelijk alles vertellen over het heelal? John D. Barrow zet in dit meeslepende boek uiteen wat een Theorie Over Alles inhoudt, wat de beperkingen zijn en wat we ervan kunnen leren over het heelal. Hij onderzoekt de essentiële ingrediënten van zo'n theorie en geeft aan wat de voorwaarden zijn: we moeten bereid zijn onbetreden paden te bewandelen; we moeten er rekening mee houden dat het heelal rommelig en gecompliceerd is; en we moeten voor ogen houden dal we beperkt zijn door de vragen die we stellen en door de informatie die we aan kunnen. Maar duidelijk is dat de sleutel tot een Theorie Over Alles in de opmerkelijke capaciteiten van de wiskundigen ligt: alleen zij kunnen de basisprincipes van het universum uitleggen in een taal die de menselijke geest kan begrijpen en kan manipuleren.

Barrow Title A name given to the resource The constants of nature Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Jonathan Cape Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2002 Description An account of the resource The constants of Nature are the fundamental laws of physics that apply throughout the universe: gravity, velocity of light, electromagnetism and quantum mechanics. They encode the deepest secrets of the universe and express at once our greatest knowledge and our greatest ignorance about the cosmos. Their existence has taught us the profound truth that nature abounds with unseen regularities. What is the ultimate status of these constants of nature? Do we know why they are as they are? Are they truly constant? Are they the same everywhere? Are they all linked? These are some of the issues this book will tackle. It will look back to the discoveries of the first constants of nature and the impact they had on scientists like Einstein. Astronomical observations are suggesting that some of the constants of nature were different when the universe was younger, so are our laws of nature slowly changing? Is anything about our universe immune from the ravages of time? This book examines whether there are any constants of nature at all.

Barrow Title A name given to the resource Pi in the sky Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Penguin Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1992 Description An account of the resource John D. Barrow's Pi in the Sky is a profound -- and profoundly different -- exploration of the world of mathematics: where it comes from, what it is, and where it's going to take us if we follow it to the limit in our search for the ultimate meaning of the universe. Barrow begins by investigating whether math is a purely human invention inspired by our practical needs. Or is it something inherent in nature waiting to be discovered? In answering these questions, Barrow provides a bridge between the usually irreconcilable worlds of mathematics and theology. Along the way, he treats us to a history of counting all over the world, from Egyptian hieroglyphics to logical friction, from number mysticism to Marxist mathematics. And he introduces us to a host of peculiar individuals who have thought some of the deepest and strangest thoughts that human minds have ever thought, from Lao-Tse to Robert Pirsig, Charles Darwin, and Umberto Eco. Barrow thus provides the historical framework and the intellectual tools necessary to an understanding of some of today's weightiest mathematical concepts.

Barrow , Joseph Silk Title A name given to the resource The Left Hand of Creation: The Origin and Evolution of the Expanding Universe Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Basic Books Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource June, 1986 Description An account of the resource Consider the ghostly neutrino. This elementary, subatomic particle carries with it not only an uncanny reminder of a time eons ago when symmetries were perfect, but also a clue as to how they came to be broken. For every neutrino that now spins to the left, there was once one that spun to the right: these parallel twins were destroyed in the "Big Bang," that cosmic apocalypse that, most scientists now agree, created the universe. And this decay of symmetry is reflected in the building blocks of organic life as well. The helical structures of our own genetic material spiral to the left; no right-turning counterparts exist. The left hand of creation has a long reach indeed, extending from the beginning of time to the miracles of life we witness everyday. In this provocative and widely praised volume, two internationally acclaimed astronomers show nonspecialist readers how the latest scientific research is helping to solve one of humankind's oldest riddles: the origins of the universe. In clear, nontechnical terms, John D. Barrow and Joseph Silk explain how the physics of elementary particles and the scenarios of cosmology converge in theories that illuminate the beginnings, the evolution, and the possible future of our world and its seemingly infinite neighbors. In the process, they lead us along an amazing path of discovery. We examine the black body radiation still detectable in space today (once the predominant constituent of the universe, now a cosmic fossil of the primeval fireball), explore the Milky Way (with more stars swirling around its center than people who ever lived on Earth), and find that all we see around us is inextricably linked to the exceedingly remote past. As it traces the origins and development of the universe, The Left Hand of Creation asks some compelling questions. What was the beginning of time like? Was it a time of chaos or of smooth transition? Was it unfathomably hot or inconceivably cold? In attempting to answer these and other questions, Barrow and Silk effortlessly cover the entire spectrum of modern theory, making even the most arcane and difficult accessible to the layperson. They offer succinct, readable accounts of such cutting-edge fields of inquiry as quantum physics, quark theory, particle physics, and astronomy, to name but a few. And they also introduce us to the scientists whose collective genius made modern cosmological study possible in the first place. There is Edwin Hubble, whose Red Shift Theory proved that the universe is expanding; the eighteenth-century English clergyman John Michell, whose revolutionary ideas about gravity predicted the discovery of black holes by American physicist John Wheeler some two centuries later; and, of course, the titanic figure of Einstein, whose Theory of Relativity looms behind virtually every breakthrough in modern physics.

In 1859, Bernhard Riemann, a little-known thirty-two year old mathematician, made a hypothesis while presenting a paper to the Berlin Academy titled “On the Number of Prime Numbers Less Than a Given Quantity.” Today, after 150 years of careful research and exhaustive study, the Riemann Hypotheses remains unsolved, with a one-million-dollar prize earmarked for the first person to conquer it. Alternating passages of extraordinarily lucid mathematical exposition with chapters of elegantly composed biography and history, Prime Obsession is a fascinating and fluent account of an epic mathematical mystery that continues to challenge and excite the world.

Son of the famous astronomer William Herschel and nephew of Caroline, he was persuaded by his father to pursue the astronomical investigations William could no longer undertake; John's subsequent career resulted in a knighthood and a lifetime of accolades. Outlines of Astronomy (1849), an updated and expanded version of his 1833 Treatise on Astronomy, went through eleven editions in two decades and was translated into several languages. Outlines examines terrestrial and celestial phenomena, providing the reader with a wide range of knowledge about the physical world as a whole. The work is an important textbook, the object of which 'is not to convince or refute opponents, nor to inquire ... for principles of which we are all the time in full possession - but simply to teach what is known'.
