Drawing upon the latest theories and technology, The Big Bang, Third Edition, is a sweeping, lucid account of the event that set the universe in motion. Award-winning astronomer and physicist Joseph Silk begins his story with the first microseconds of the big bang, on through the evolution of planets, stars, and galaxies, and into the distant future of our universe. He also explores the fascinating evidence for the big bang model and recounts the history of cosmological speculation. Revised and updated, the third edition features all the most recent astronomical advances, including:
* Photos and measurements from the Hubble Space Telescope, Cosmic Background Explorer Satellite, and Infrared Space Observatory * Modern estimates of the age of the universe * New ideas in string theory and superstring theory * Recent experiments on neutrino detection * New theories about the presence of dark matter in galaxies * New developments of star formation and the evolution of galaxies * The latest ideas about black holes, worm holes, quantum foam, and multiple universes
A marvelous introduction to scientific cosmology, The Big Bang, Third Edition, takes readers on a spectacular journey spanning time and space.
