Paperback. Condition: New. 2021 ed. This book tells the story of how, over the past century, dedicated observers and pioneering scientists achieved our current understanding of the universe. It was in antiquity that humankind first attempted to explain the universe often with the help of myths and legends. This book, however, focuses on the time when cosmology finally became a true science. As the reader will learn, this was a slow process, extending over a large part of the 20th century and involving many astronomers, cosmologists and theoretical physicists. The book explains how empirical astronomical data (e.g., Leavitt, Slipher and Hubble) were reconciled with Einstein's general relativity; a challenge which finally led Friedmann, De Sitter and Lemaître, and eventually Einstein himself, to a consistent understanding of the observational results. The reader will realize the extraordinary implications of these achievements and howdeeply they changed our vision of the cosmos: From being small, static, immutable and eternal, it became vast and dynamical - originating from (almost) nothing, and yet now, nearly 14 billion years later, undergoing accelerated expansion. But, as always happens, as well as precious knowledge, new mysteries have also been created where previously absolute certainty had reigned.…

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. No resulta difícil imaginar a nuestros ancestros contemplando admirados el maravilloso cielo nocturno. Y fue ya en la Antigüedad cuando empezaron a elaborarse las primeras teorías sobre los componentes constitutivos del universo, material y etéreo, que nos envuelve. Este libro se centra sobre todo en un punto concreto: investigar el momento en que la cosmología se convirtió por fin en una verdadera ciencia, en que las teorías sobre el cosmos devinieron teorías científicas. Eso no sucedió de la noche a la mañana, ya que fue un proceso lento, que ocupó gran parte del siglo XX y en el que intervinieron numerosos astrónomos, cosmólogos y teóricos de la física fundamental, con sus grandes aciertos y, en ocasiones, crasos errores. Todo este proceso se fundamentó en conciliar los datos empíricos obtenidos de las observaciones astronómicas (Leavitt, Slipher, Hubble) con un marco teórico muy sólido: la relatividad general de Einstein. Teoría que finalmente permitió (Friedmann, De Sitter, Lemaître) interpretar y entender los resultados obtenidos por los astrónomos. Visto en perspectiva, las aportaciones del pasado siglo tuvieron unas implicaciones extraordinarias, casi increíbles, que cambiaron por completo nuestra visión del universo: de ser pequeño, estático, inmutable y eterno pasó a ser enorme, a tener un principio, a partir de casi nada, y a expandirse aceleradamente. Lo que ha creado, a su vez, un nuevo misterio donde por un tiempo reinó la certeza absoluta. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
