A Nobel Prize-winning physicist explains what happened at the very
beginning of the universe, and how we know, in this popular science
classic. Our universe has been growing for nearly 14 billion years.
But almost everything about it, from the elements that forged
stars, planets, and lifeforms, to the fundamental forces of
physics, can be traced back to what happened in just the first
three minutes of its life. In this book, Nobel Laureate Steven
Weinberg describes in wonderful detail what happened in these first
three minutes. It is an exhilarating journey that begins with the
Planck Epoch - the earliest period of time in the history of the
universe - and goes through Einstein's Theory of Relativity, the
Hubble Red Shift, and the detection of the Cosmic Microwave
Background. These incredible discoveries all form the foundation
for what we now understand as the "standard model" of the origin of
the universe. The First Three Minutes examines not only what this
model looks like, but also tells the exciting story of the bold
thinkers who put it together. Clearly and accessibly written, The
First Three Minutes is a modern-day classic, an unsurpassed
explanation of where it is we really come from.
