The True Story of Modern Cosmology: Origins, Main Actors and Breakthroughs

Emilio Elizalde

4.9/5 (26847 ratings)

Description:The 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 Lemaitre, and eventually Einstein himself, to a consistent understanding of the observational results.The reader will realise the extraordinary implications of these achievements and how deeply 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 a precious knowledge, new mysteries have also been created where previously absolute certainty had reignedWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
