Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 298pp. Light wear to laminate (card edges) Foreword by Stephen Hawking. Firm, clean interiorIn this landmark book, one of the twentieth century's greatest astronomers prese nts scientific evidence that our vast universe may be only a grain of sand on th e infinite cosmic shore.It is now widely accepted that our universe exploded aro und 15 billion years ago from an unimaginably energetic initial event: the big b ang. As the primordial material expanded and cooled, it evolved into the exquisi te patterns of stars and galaxies we now observe. The mix of energy and radiatio n that characterizes our universe was imprinted in that initial instant?as wer e the binding forces of nuclear physics and gravity that controlled our universe 's evolution.The experimental triumphs and theoretical insights of recent years? ??from the detection of neutrinos from exploding stars to the search for extrate rrestrial life?offer the most dramatic enlargement in our concept of the unive rse since astronomers first realized the sun's true place among the stars. In th is illuminating work, Sir Martin Rees, Britain's Astronomer Royal and one of the most creative and original of contemporary scientists, draws these advances tog ether with up-to-the-minute research on black holes, dark matter, and nucleosynt hesis of the elements. He also sheds light on some of the personalities behind t he science, offering first-hand impressions of Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, Steph en Hawking, John Archibald Wheeler, and Fred Hoyle, among others.With stunning c larity, Professor Rees argues that a family?even an infinity?of universes ma y have been created, each by its own big bang, and each acquiring a distinctive imprint and its own laws of physics. These baby universes will either live out t heir immense cosmic cycle, or die because those laws do not allow them to achiev.…
