In The Infinite Cosmos Joseph Silk takes the reader on a tour of
the universe, past, present, and future, showing how the very
latest observations and theories are unlocking clues about its
origin and structure: X-ray, radio, and high-energy views of space
are revealing fossil radiation left over from the big bang and
providing us with unprecedented views of the most distant reaches
of the universe. Theories from the frontiers of current research
seek to explain its structure from the first moments to the present
day, and we are beginning to understand its extraordinary nature
and possible fate. This is a story involving the visible and the
invisible; subatomic particles and unusual forces; long ages of
darkness and spectacular and violent events. It tells of
supernovae, dark matter, dark energy, curved spacetime, colliding
galaxies, and supermassive black holes. Weaving the ideas of poets
and writers as well as scientists into the story, from Kant and
Keats to Einstein and Lemaitre, Silk explains our present state of
knowledge, and how much more there is to understand about our
infinite cosmos.
