Where The Universe Came From How Einsteins Relativity Unlocks The Past Present And Future Of The Cosmos 1st Edition New Scientist by New Scientist instant download after payment.

Look behind that unmistakable flare of fluffy white hair and you’ll find a whole new view of the world, where time and space are joined, mass becomes energy and the fabric of the universe is revealed…and then torn to shreds.
Albert Einstein forged his theories of relativity more than 100 years ago in what was one of the greatest achievements of the human mind, and yet today we are still finding out what they really mean. One ramification of relativity is our growing understanding of the life of the cosmos, from its beginning in the Big Bang through many stages of expansion. Another is the uncanny thing called dark energy, which dominates the universe, and was heralded in Einstein’s own calculations in the 1920s.
In 2016 we saw perhaps the most relativistic moment in history, when scientists detected gravitational waves coming from the collision of two black holes after being stretched out by the expansion of space-time over a billion years. Soon, gravitational wave detectors and radio telescopes could begin to explore the nature of the event horizon, the point of no return at the edge of a black hole, to find out whether relativity holds up even at these extremes. Meanwhile, a frenzy of theoretical ideas is emerging from the clash between relativity and quantum mechanics, with superstrings, quantum triangles and other strange notions competing to provide a deeper description of reality. Even Einstein must be surpassed some day.
This New Scientist Instant Expert guide gathers together the thoughts of leading physicists and the best of New Scientist magazine to bring you up to date with Einstein’s concept of relativity and the impact it has had on our conception of the universe.
