商品描述
Did the Universe have a beginning? Will it have an end? Or has it always been the same, never changing? This is the subject of cosmology; the study of the Universe, and this book provides a perfect introduction to the subject for anyone that is interested in the wonders of our Universe
This book provides an accessible overview of the Standard Model of Cosmology, which is explained in six Cosmological Clues, including evidence for the Big Bang and dark matter and dark energy - the keystones of modern cosmology.
It takes readers through some of the most exciting questions in cosmology, such as what evidence do we have that the Universe started from the Big Bang? Has dark matter been observed? Will we ever know what dark energy is? Are the multiverses real? And could the Universe be a hologram?
This book is an ideal guide for anyone interested in finding out more about our Universe. It will be of interest to those studying cosmology for the first time, including readers without a scientific background, who have an interest in looking up at the stars and wondering where they all came from!
Key features:
- Contains the latest evidence for the Big Bang, dark matter, and dark energy and explores exciting scientific ideas, such as inflation and multiverses
- Provides a clear explanation of the main theories of how the Universe evolved based on key observations - the Cosmological Clues
- Gives the reader a concise introduction to the scientific process, using cosmology as the example, and explores why it has been so successful in creating the technologies we have today
商品描述(中文翻譯)
宇宙有開始嗎?它會有結束嗎?還是它一直都是一樣,從未改變?這是宇宙學的主題;對宇宙的研究,而這本書為任何對我們宇宙的奇觀感興趣的人提供了完美的入門介紹。
這本書提供了標準宇宙學模型的可讀性概述,該模型在六個宇宙學線索中進行解釋,包括大爆炸、暗物質和暗能量的證據——現代宇宙學的基石。
它帶領讀者探索宇宙學中一些最令人興奮的問題,例如我們有哪些證據表明宇宙是從大爆炸開始的?暗物質被觀測到過嗎?我們會知道暗能量是什麼嗎?多重宇宙是真實的嗎?宇宙可能是一個全息圖嗎?
這本書是任何想要進一步了解我們宇宙的理想指南。它將吸引那些第一次學習宇宙學的讀者,包括沒有科學背景的讀者,他們對仰望星空並思考它們的來源充滿興趣!
主要特點:
- 包含有關大爆炸、暗物質和暗能量的最新證據,並探索令人興奮的科學想法,例如膨脹和多重宇宙
- 提供了對宇宙如何演變的主要理論的清晰解釋,基於關鍵觀察——宇宙學線索
- 給讀者提供了一個簡明的科學過程介紹,以宇宙學為例,並探討為什麼它在創造我們今天擁有的技術方面如此成功
作者簡介
Carolyn Devereux is a lecturer in astrophysics at the Centre for Astrophysics Research at the University of Hertfordshire. Her particular research interest is in developing our understanding of the role of dark matter in the evolution of the Large Scale Structure of the Universe, also called the 'Cosmic Web'. After completing her degree in Physics from the University of Birmingham, she gained a PhD from University College London while working at the Hirst Research Centre in London researching ferroelectric liquid crystals. After working in industry, she had a career break, but continued her scientific journey by studying astronomy resulting in a career change into cosmology research. She likes to share her wonder at what we know about the Universe through lectures and events for the general public.
