Beginning with the famous Olber's paradox, a number of cosmological
paradoxes, such as the missing mass, dark energy, and the
baryon-to-photon ratio, have been and are today the subject of many
scientific controversies. The Big Bang model, anticipated by
Lemaitre in 1927 and reformulated twenty years later by Gamow,
Alpher and Herman, is one of the most spectacular successes in the
entire history of physics. It remains today surrounded by
considerable theoretical speculation without sufficient
observational support.
This book discusses such paradoxes in depth with physical and
logical content and historical perspective, and has not much
technical content in order to serve a wide audience.
