An easy and very good read, but any cosmology book of this vintage is bound to be partly obsolete. As of late 2001, the latest thinking about the universe is that its expansion is *accelerating* and will continue forever; that it may quite possibly be infinite; that it may be only member of a possibly infinite ensemble of universes; that its global geometry is flat, probably because of an episode of inflation during the Big Bang; and that its mass/energy makeup consists of ~5% ordinary matter and radiation, ~30% dark matter of unknown identity, and ~65% "dark energy" in the form of either an Einsteinian cosmological constant or a time-varying "quintessence" field. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

In this exploration of our relationshop with the universe, the authors search for the grand design of the universe and the meaning of the so-called coincidences that allow life to exist on our planet. They present the latest advances in understanding of the nature of dark matter, explore mini and massive black holes, brown dwarfs and novel forms of matter such as quarks and quark nuggets. They discuss the search for a unified theory of all the particles and forces of nature: cosmic strings, superstrings and the possibility of a theory of everything. The authors also speculate on the possibility of the existence of other universes and of other intelligent life in our own. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
