图书简介
This interesting book reviews WMAP’s main results (2003) and discusses in detail how the accurate qualitative results for the “age” of the universe and the Hubble constant were anticipated in an article published five years before in Acta Cosmologica, Krakow. In the final chapter on “Cosmic Numbers”, it is shown that, as a result of the coincidence at decoupling time between atom formation and matter/radiation equality, a reasonable cosmic justification for the mass ratio of protons and electrons is obtained. Key Features • Combines a general, historical approach to contemporary cosmology with a critical analysis of relevant theoretical developments and observational results • Presents intuitive evaluations of masses, distances and times in the universe • Focuses on cosmology and transcendence: the Universe is intelligible because its observer, man, was gifted by the Creator with the intelligence and curiosity to investigate it • Chapters 7 and 8, by John C Mather and George F Smoot, respectively, give a colorful and comprehensive account of the COBE’s results in whose recognition they were awarded the 2006 Nobel Prize for Physics • Chapters 14 through 17 present the medieval roots of contemporary physics and cosmology
