| Review: | This book tells the story of the cosmos and our place in it. It explores through the many scales of space and time, from the whole Universe (including Einstein’s |General Theory of Relativity) to the tiniest realms (in quantum theory). Tom Yulsman tells the history of the Big Bang theory and how it accounts for the appearance of the first elements. He goes on to look at the theory of cosmic inflation and to examine whether it actually occurred. The theories that attempts to explain the ultimate beginning – that singularity at the beginning of the Universe. The second part of the book looks at the origins of the stars, planets and life. |
