COSMOLOGY
HiTODAr-ftH
Cosmology is the ultimate science — the
science of the ultimate: of the origin, evolution and fate of the Universe. Modern cosmology began with Albert Einstein, whose theory of relativity provided a mathematical framework within which to describe the way the Universe behaves. But Einstein's ideas have come of age only in the past 10 years, enabling us to understand the big bang with which the Universe began, the black holes in which gravity is so great that even light cannot escape, and quasars, the greatest known sources of energy.
In this guide John Gribbin traces the development of today's cosmology through the pages of New Scientist where some of the world's leading researchers and science writers first brought the ideas out of the universities.
Contributors: Vittorio Canuto, Victor Clube, Paul Davies, Michael Fall, Otto Frisch FRS, Gary Gibbons, John Gribbin, David Hanes, Stephen Hawking FRS, Werner Israel, David Lindley,...
