4.9/5 (26504 ratings)

Description:Theories of the UniverseHow is the universe constructed? Is it finite or infinite? How did the universe begin, and will it ever come to an end? Men have been asking these questions for thousands of years, but so far we cannot give reliable answers. Yet our knowledge is growing all the time, and we know much more about the universe than would have seemed possible only a generation ago.In this book Dr. Charon traces the development of scientific ideas about the universe. He begins with the Greeks (men such as Pythagoras and Aristarchus) and follows the story through, via Kepler, Galileo, Copernicus, and Newton, to the great cosmologists of this century - Einstein, Friedmann, Hoyle, Bondi, Gold, and others. We gain the impression that although there is still controversy, for example on whether the universe is expanding or in a steady state, at least the answers to these questions seem possible in the foreseeable future.The last chapters discuss the possible meanings of space, time, and distance, and whether man is unique in the universe. Some of the author's ideas are new and exciting, and are explained in a way which will appeal to both the beginner and the specialist.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
