| Beschreibung: | Includes bibliographical references and index To see the world in a grain of sand: what we can observe from Earth -- Infinity in the palm of your hand: Einstein's far-reaching vision -- Eternity in an hour: the accelerating universe -- Darkness apparent: the hidden stuff of the cosmos -- Ever-changing moods: did nature's constants evolve? -- Escape clause: circumventing the Big Bang singularity -- What is real? "The power provided to us by extraordinary new observational mechanisms has shattered former suppositions and stimulated exciting new visions of the universe. Using modern instruments such as the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), astronomers now have access to information about the age and composition of the universe. By providing greatly improved answers, high-resolution satellite data and novel telescopic techniques have transformed one of science s most speculative fields into a triumph of meticulous and rigorous detection. Yet as the technological tools grow increasingly robust and we are able to see farther and know more, we find that we have even more questions. Could there be realms beyond ordinary space? Might time, space, and matter simply be illusions? What unique blend of cosmological factors influences life on Earth? Featuring interviews with leaders in the field as well as thought-provoking descriptions of their work, Brave New Universe is a guided tour of current advances and controversies in cosmology."--Publisher's website |
