This groundbreaking book presents a new perspective on three of
cosmology's essential questions: What came before the Big Bang?
What is the source of order in our universe? And what cosmic future
awaits us?
Penrose shows how the expected fate of our ever-accelerating and
expanding universe--heat death or ultimate entropy--can actually be
reinterpreted as the conditions that will begin a new "Big Bang."
He details the basic principles beneath our universe, explaining
various standard and non-standard cosmological models, the
fundamental role of the cosmic microwave background, the paramount
significance of black holes, and other basic building blocks of
contemporary physics. Intellectually thrilling and widely
accessible, "Cycles of Time" is a welcome new contribution to our
understanding of the universe from one of our greatest
mathematicians and thinkers.
