The History of Everything: 14 Billion Years of Cosmic Evolution
29.99 €
"In the beginning of all things, there was physics." 14 billion years. Things are going well. But once upon a time, immediately after the Big Bang, the Universe expanded so much that it reached the size of a grapefruit. In those 10(-33) seconds, an entire epoch in its history passed. Once, the Universe was so hot that stars couldn't form, and then everything became much more interesting. Go outside on a clear night, admire the vastness of the Milky Way, and then read this book and realize that the history of everything is just beginning. You hold in your hands a fascinating and captivating book for anyone who loves to look at the sky and wants to understand what they see there. Welcome to the Universe (and don't forget your towel)!
What has changed since the previous edition? More than five thousand exoplanets have been discovered. New detectors have been developed that can detect gravitational waves from sources billions of light-years away from Earth. We took a fresh look at five celestial bodies, including Mars, that we considered uninteresting, too cold, and too small. We built new ground-based and space-based observatories. It's impossible to summarize in a few lines all the recent discoveries in biology, astronomy, and astrophysics. So the scientific knowledge base on which our understanding of the Universe is built has been updated.
