Do you ever look up to the stars and wonder about what is out
there? Over the last few centuries, humans have successfully
unraveled much of the language of the universe, exploring and
defining formerly mysterious phenomena such as electricity,
magnetism, and matter through the beauty of mathematics. But some
secrets remain beyond our realm of understanding-and seemingly
beyond the very laws and theories we have relied on to make sense
of the universe we inhabit. It is clear that the quantum, the world
of atoms and electrons, is entwined with the cosmos, a universe of
trillions of stars and galaxies...but exactly how these two
extremes of human understanding interact remains a mystery. Where
Did the Universe Come From? And Other Cosmic Questions allows
readers to eavesdrop on a conversation between award-winning
physicists Chris Ferrie and Geraint F. Lewis as they examine the
universe through the two unifying and yet often contradictory
lenses of classical physics and quantum mechanics, tackling
questions such as: Where did the universe come from?Why do dying
stars rip themselves apartDo black holes last forever?What is left
for humans to discover?A brief but fascinating exploration of the
vastness of the universe, this book will have armchair physicists
turning the pages until their biggest and smallest questions about
the cosmos have been answered.
