Publisher : From the prizewinning author who has been called “the greatest science writer in the world” comes this delightfully comprehensive and comprehensible report on how science today envisions the universe as a whole.
Timothy Ferris provides a clear, elegantly written overview of current research and a forecast of where cosmological theory is likely to go in the twenty-first century. He explores the questions that have occurred to even casual readers — who are curious about nature on the largest scales: What does it mean to say that the universe is “expanding,” or that space is “curved”? — and sheds light on the possibility that our universe is only one among many universes, each with its own physical laws and prospects for the emergence of life.
