Edge of the Universe
Author: Paul Halpern
Publisher: Turner Publishing Company
ISBN: 111823460X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
An accessible look at the mysteries that lurk at the edge of the known universe and beyond The observable universe, the part we can see with telescopes, is incredibly vast. Yet recent theories suggest that there is far more to the universe than what our instruments record—in fact, it could be infinite. Colossal flows of galaxies, large empty regions called voids, and other unexplained phenomena offer clues that our own "bubble universe" could be part of a greater realm called the multiverse. How big is the observable universe? What it is made of? What lies beyond it? Was there a time before the Big Bang? Could space have unseen dimensions? In this book, physicist and science writer Paul Halpern explains what we know?and what we hope to soon find out?about our extraordinary cosmos. Explains what we know about the Big Bang, the accelerating universe, dark energy, dark flow, and dark matter to examine some of the theories about the content of the universe and why its edge is getting farther away from us faster Explores the idea that the observable universe could be a hologram and that everything that happens within it might be written on its edge Written by physicist and popular science writer Paul Halpern, whose other books include Collider: The Search for the World's Smallest Particles, and What's Science Ever Done For Us: What the Simpsons Can Teach Us About Physics, Robots, Life, and the Universe

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
RETURNING TO TELEVISION AS AN ALL-NEW MINISERIES ON FOX Cosmos is one of the bestselling science books of all time. In clear-eyed prose, Sagan reveals a jewel-like blue world inhabited by a life form that is just beginning to discover its own identity and to venture into the vast ocean of space. Featuring a new Introduction by Sagan’s collaborator, Ann Druyan, full color illustrations, and a new Foreword by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, Cosmos retraces the fourteen billion years of cosmic evolution that have transformed matter into consciousness, exploring such topics as the origin of life, the human brain, Egyptian hieroglyphics, spacecraft missions, the death of the Sun, the evolution of galaxies, and the forces and individuals who helped to shape modern science. Praise for Cosmos “Magnificent . . . With a lyrical literary style, and a range that touches almost all aspects of human knowledge, Cosmos often seems too good to be true.”—The Plain Dealer “Sagan is an astronomer with one eye on the stars, another on history, and a third—his mind’s—on the human condition.”—Newsday “Brilliant in its scope and provocative in its suggestions . . . shimmers with a sense of wonder.”—The Miami Herald “Sagan dazzles the mind with the miracle of our survival, framed by the stately galaxies of space.”—Cosmopolitan “Enticing . . . iridescent . . . imaginatively illustrated.”—The New York Times Book Review

Book Description
I challenge you to join me on a journey, a journey that is sure to astonish, educate and inspire you. Immerse yourself in a voyage through space and time... to the farthest outreaches of the universe trillions of kilometers/miles away, back 14 billion years in the past and onward billions of years into the future to learn about our fate. This book is part of THE INSPIRING UNIVERSE COLLECTION. This book series will take you on a journey that spans the disciplines of astronomy (a tour of the universe), cosmology (a study of the birth, evolution and fate of the universe) and philosophy (your place in the cosmos). We will admire the view from Planet Earth, travel upward to the International Space Station, visit the planets/dwarf planets in our Solar System (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) and explore our Milky Way Galaxy. We will then explore the most extreme things in the universe... the biggest, fastest, tallest and most powerful... black holes, neutron stars, magnetars, pulsars, supernova explosions, galaxies, nebulas, stars and much more. Our cosmology journey will attempt to answer the most profound questions about the birth, evolution and fate of the universe. Are we alone? How was the universe born? (Big Bang or Big Bounce?) How will it all end? (Big Crunch, Big Chill/Freeze or Big Rip?) In the end, your view of the universe and your place in it will be transformed forever. Immerse Yourself in an Experience, Not Just a Book: This book is loaded with videos and audio podcasts that can be listened to and viewed on your smartphone, tablet, laptop and TV.
