The Structure of the Universe by Paul Halpern, Ph.D., originally published in 1996, is a tour of the knowledge of the deep reaches of space and predictions for its future.
The author explores recent scientific breakthroughs in the fields of supergravity, supersymmetry, quantum theory, superstring theory, and p-branes as he searches for the Theory of Everything that lies at the heart of the cosmos.
Cosmologists and astronomers offer information on the solar system, cosmology, global warming, and observational techniques.
"If Ms. Frizzle were a physics student of Stephen Hawking, she might have written THE UNIVERSE IN YOUR HAND, a wild tour through the reaches of time and space, from the interior of a proton to the Big Bang to the rough suburbs of a black ...
The core of the book is a tour of the cosmos covering the Solar System, the Milky Way, and galaxies beyond our own.
Max Tegmark leads us on an astonishing journey through past, present and future, and through the physics, astronomy and mathematics that are the foundation of his work, most particularly his hypothesis that our physical reality is a ...
This book presents the excitement of these new discoveries in the larger context of cosmic evolution.
Furthermore, an explanation has yet to be found for what caused the Big Bang in the first place. In Endless Universe, Paul J. Steinhardt and Neil Turok, both distinguished theoretical physicists, present a bold new cosmology.
What is lifeĆs future on Earth and beyond? How does life begin and develop? These are age-old questions that have inspired wonder and controversy ever since the first people looked up into the sky.
Written by two experts, the book is aimed at the interested lay-person with little or no physics background, but an interest in modern cosmology. This fascinating book provides an accessible and up-to-date overview of modern cosmology.
