SynopsisA half century ago, a shocking Washington Post headline claimed that the world began in five cataclysmic minutes rather than having existed for all time; a skeptical scientist dubbed the maverick theory the Big Bang. In this amazingly comprehensible history of the universe, Simon Singh decodes the mystery behind the Big Bang theory, lading us through the development of one of the most extraordinary, important, and awe-inspiring theories in science.

Big Bang is right!
Great book. I call it my bible. Some much history and science told in a way that's entertaining and easy to comprehend. There's very little math involved and yet some complex ideas are explained with words and drawings. Covers ideas of the ancients, who first looked up and wondered, up to the most recent thoughts on cosmology. Brilliant!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
