Download or read book A Short History of the Universe written by Joseph Silk and published by W. H. Freeman. This book was released on 1997-02-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How has the universe evolved? Astronomer and physicist Joseph Silk explores this and other questions of cosmology in this updated, paperback edition of his acclaimed A Short History of the Universe. Silk shows how cosmologists study cosmic relics and construct theories of the universe's inception, its evolution, and its plausible future. He describes how physicists apply their theories of subatomic particles to re-create the first moments of the big bang and how astronomers map huge reaches of the universe to understand the later creation of galaxies and clusters of galaxies. He also reports on one of science's most dramatic detective stories: the search for the missing matter that will determine the ultimate fate of the universe.

The once-utopian Chasm City -- a domed human settlement on an otherwise inhospitable planet -- has been overrun by a virus known as the Melding Plague, capable of infecting any body, organic or computerized. Now, with the entire city corrupted -- from the people to the very buildings they inhabit -- only the most wretched sort of existence remains. For security operative Tanner Mirabel, it is the landscape of nightmares through which he searches for a lowlife postmortal killer. But the stakes are raised when his search brings him face to face with a centuries-old atrocity that history would rather forget. One of Locus and Science Fiction Chronicle's "Best SF Novels of the Year"
Download or read book Cartographies of Time written by Daniel Rosenberg and published by Princeton Architectural Press. This book was released on 2013-07-02 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our critically acclaimed smash hit Cartographies of Time is now available in paperback. In this first comprehensive history of graphic representations of time, authors Daniel Rosenberg and Anthony Grafton have crafted a lively history featuring fanciful characters and unexpected twists and turns. From medieval manuscripts to websites, Cartographies of Time features a wide variety of timelines that in their own unique ways, curving, crossing, branching, defy conventional thinking about the form. A fifty-four-foot-long timeline from 1753 is mounted on a scroll and encased in a protective box. Another timeline uses the different parts of the human body to show the genealogies of Jesus Christ and the rulers of Saxony. Ladders created by missionaries in eighteenth-century Oregon illustrate Bible stories in a vertical format to convert Native Americans. Also included is the April 1912 Marconi North Atlantic Communication chart, which tracked ships, including the Titanic, at points in time rather than by their geographic location, alongside little-known works by famous figures, including a historical chronology by the mapmaker Gerardus Mercator and a chronological board game patented by Mark Twain. Presented in a lavishly illustrated edition, Cartographies of Time is a revelation to anyone interested in the role visual forms have played in our evolving conception of history

Download or read book A Chronology of Our Universe written by Edited by: Kisak and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a great beginners guide to an overview of the development of our universe according to "The Big Bang Theory." The chronology of the universe describes the history and future of the universe according to Big Bang cosmology, the Prevailing scienti c model of how the universe developed over time from the Planck epoch, using the cosmological time parameter of commoving coordinates. The model of the universe's expansion is known as the Big Bang. As of 2015, this expansion is estimated to have begun 13.799 0.021 billion years ago. It is convenient to divide the evolution of the universe into three phases. In the rst phase, the very earliest universe was so hot, or energetic, that initially no matter particles existed, or if they did, could exist only eetingly. According to prevailing scienti c theories, at this time the distinct forces we see around us today were joined in one uni ed force. In the second phase, the resulting quark-gluon plasma universe then cooled further, the current fundamental forces we know take their present forms through further symmetry breaking-notably the breaking of electroweak symmetry-and the full range of complex and composite particles we see around us today became possible, leading to a gravitationally dominated universe The third phase started after a short dark age with a universe whose fundamental particles and forces were as we know them, and witnessed the emergence of large scale stable structures, such as the earliest stars, quasars, galaxies, clusters of galaxies and superclusters, and the development of the kind of universe we see today. This book gives an overview of the above topics including graphics that show the development of our known universe."
