Synopsis
There was immense excitement in the scientific community and among the general public when the COBE space probe sent back data that proved not only that the Big Bang had happened, but also that it had happened at more or less exactly the time that astronomers had calculated. The author describes these findings and then goes on to discuss what more we can expect to learn about so remote an event. What is the nature of the evidence that could be found? Are there any more observations to be made, with present or imaginable technology, or is there nothing left but untestable theorizing?

Présentation de l'éditeur
There is no more profound, enduring or fascinating question in all of science than that of how time, space, and matter began. Now John Barrow, who has been at the cutting edge of research in this area and has written extensively about it, guides us on a journey to the beginning of time, into a world of temperatures and densities so high that we cannot recreate them in a laboratory. With new insights, Barrow draws us into the latest speculative theories about the nature of time and the inflationary universe,” explains wormholes,” showing how they bear upon the fact of our own existence, and considers whether there was a singularity” at the inception of the universe. Here is a treatment so up-to-date and intellectually rich, deaing with ideas and speculation at the farthest frontier of science, that neither novice nor expert will want to miss what Barrow has to say. The Origin of the Universe is ”In the Beginning” for beginners the latest information from a first-rate scientist and science writer.
