Synopsis
Where did the Universe come from? This is the single biggest and most difficult question that there is. From early religions through Greek philosophy and Western Science, man has always attempted to discover the meaning of our place in the Universe. In the last twenty years these debates have all been stood on their head by amazing discoveries, big bang theories and ideas about sub-atomic layers. The nature of Time and Space are up for grabs and this book introduces all of these problems in one quick tour., Where did the Universe come from? What is it made of and how does it work? Will it come to an end? These are profound and difficult questions that have always enthralled human beings from the earliest times. From Mayan worship of sun gods through to early Greek philosophy and the rise of Western science, these fundamental questions have always attracted the greatest thinkers of each era. The troubling question of man's place in the Universe has been at the centre of centuries of religious and philosophical debate. We have dreamt of other planets and other peoples in many different ways. The twentieth century brought new revolutions in our thinking about the Universe, from Einstein to quantum theory and ultimately the big bang itself. In the last fifty years, almost everything people had thought about the nature of the Universe has proved to be wrong, and very recent science suggests that the Universe is even stranger than Einstein had thought. This book provides an introductory tour of almost everything in the Universe and a guide to what thinkers have had to say about measuring the Universe. Book jacket., Where did the Universe come from?
