Space Universe

There is no more profound, enduring, or fascinating question in all of science than that of how time, space, and matter began. Now John Barrow, who has been at the cutting edge of research in this area and has written extensively about it, guides us on a journey to the beginning of time, into a world of temperatures and densities so high that we cannot recreate them in a laboratory.

In the centuries since its expansion beyond the outer reaches of the Core Sol System, humanity has proven itself to be persistent enough to not only survive in space but to thrive. Hundreds of worlds, planetoids, and stations have been established as the new frontier for mankind, with some colonizers going into stasis for years, awaiting arrival at their new homes among the stars. With that expansion, and the astronomical distances needed to reach the new frontier, comes the need for rescue. Navigation errors, mechanical failures, marauding pirates, unexplainable cosmic phenomena, and more.

Piero e Alberto Angela invitano i lettori a un grande viaggio nel Cosmo a bordo della Noos (che in greco antico significa "intelletto"), un'astronave immaginaria che si sposta alla velocità del pensiero. Il viaggio della Noos si basa sulle più recenti conoscenze acquisite dall'astronomia e dall'astrofisica: il veicolo spaziale si posa sulla Luna, su Marte, sorvola i pianeti del nostro Sistema solare, scende su asteroidi e comete, entra fin dentro il Sole per scoprire la sua struttura interna.

Instead of “what if the South won the Civil War?” cosmologists ask, “what if the constants that make up the fundamental building blocks of physics were different?” Physicists argue that any slight change to the laws of physics would mean a disruption in the evolution of the universe - and our existence. With the many factors that had to align for us to exist, it can seem like the laws of physics might seem finely tuned to make our existence possible. Instead of a supernatural or divine explanation, this book explores the possibility is that our universe isn’t the only one.

With all the passion, curiosity, and precise yet lyrical prose that have marked his previous books, Alan Lightman here explores the emotional and philosophical questions raised by discoveries in science, focusing most intently on the human condition and the needs of humankind. He looks at the difficult dialogue between science and religion, the conflict between our human desire for permanence and the impermanence of nature, the possibility that our universe is simply an accident, the manner in which modern technology has separated us from direct experience of the world, and our resistance to the view that our bodies and minds can be explained by scientific logic and laws.

How Big Is the Universe? is a poetic journey through space, time, and consciousness. Using Earthly metaphors—a tennis ball for the observable universe and Pluto for the actual one—it translates cosmic immensity into human scale. The book traces humanity’s expanding awareness: from believing Earth was the center to discovering trillions of galaxies held together by unseen forces of dark matter and dark energy. It explores the search for life, the fine-tuning of physical laws, and the idea that consciousness may be the universe knowing itself.
