Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book is a gentle introduction for all those wishing to learn about modern views of the cosmos. Our universe originated in a great explosion - the big bang. For nearly a century cosmologists have studied the aftermath of this explosion: how the universe expanded and cooled down, and how galaxies were gradually assembled by gravity. The nature of the bang itself has come into focus only relatively recently. It is the subject of the theory of cosmic inflation, which was developed in the last few decades and has led to a radically new global view of the universe.Students and other interested readers will find here a non-technical but conceptually rigorous account of modern cosmological ideas - describing what we know, and how we know it. One of the book's central themes is the scientific quest to find answers to the ultimate cosmic questions: Is the universe finite or infinite Has it existed forever If not, when and how did it come into being Will it ever end The book is based on the undergraduate course taught by Alex Vilenkin at Tufts University. It assumes no prior knowledge of physics or mathematics beyond elementary high school math. The necessary physics background is introduced as it is required. Each chapter includes a list of questions and exercises of varying degree of difficulty.This new edition includes hints for answering the questions and exercises, as well as extensions to the discussions on dark matter, quantum cosmology. A new chapter summarizing the standard cosmological model has also been added.…

Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket, As Issued. First Edition. FROM THE BIG BANG TO DARK ENERGY, A GUIDE TO THE UNIVERSE WRITTEN FOR THE CURIOUS MIND. Modern cosmology addresses some of humanity's oldest questions: How did the universe begin? What is it made of? How did galaxies form? And how might it end? Written by physicists Delia Perlov and Alex Vilenkin, Cosmology for the Curious presents these profound subjects in an accessible and engaging manner, translating the discoveries of contemporary cosmology into language understandable to interested readers without advanced scientific training. Based on an undergraduate course taught by Alex Vilenkin, the book explores the Big Bang, cosmic inflation, dark matter, dark energy, black holes, galaxy formation, and the large-scale structure of the universe. Mathematical requirements are intentionally modest, with necessary concepts introduced as needed. Richly illustrated throughout, the volume combines clear explanations with visual examples, review questions, and exercises that encourage readers to engage directly with the material. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Publisher's illustrated laminated boards; issued without dust jacket. Octavo; 9.25 inches tall. 272 pages including appendices and index. Fully illustrated with diagrams, charts, photographs, and explanatory figures, some in color. Part of Springer's Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics series. CONDITION: Fine. No flaws or blemishes; gift quality. Issued without dust jacket. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE - By the early twenty-first century, cosmology had evolved from a largely theoretical discipline into a precision science supported by satellite observations, deep-sky surveys, and detailed measurements of the cosmic microwave background. Cosmology for the Curious presents this modern understanding of the universe in an accessible yet rigorous manner, introducing readers to the expanding universe, cosmic inflation, dark matter, dark energy, and the evidence that supports contemporary cosmological theory. Particularly noteworthy is the discussion of inflation, one of the most influential developments in modern cosmology, presented by Alex Vilenkin, a leading contributor to the field. Rather than treating astronomy as a collection of isolated facts, the authors illustrate how cosmologists develop and test theories about the origin, evolution, and ultimate fate of the universe. ABOUT THE AUTHORS - Alex Vilenkin is a theoretical physicist internationally recognized for his work on cosmology, cosmic inflation, and the early universe. A longtime professor at Tufts University, he has authored numerous influential scientific papers and books on modern cosmology. Delia Perlov is a physicist and educator whose work focuses on communicating complex scientific ideas to wider audiences. Together they created a text that bridges the gap between introductory popular science and university-level study.
