Title: The Origin of the Universe (Science Masters Series) by John D. Barrow ISBN: 0-465-05314-9 Publisher: Basic Books Pub. Date: June, 1997 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $16.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.2 (5 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Deepest secrets.
Comment: Excellent presentation of the latest theories about the origin of the universe, like the 'no boundary condition' (Hawking and Hartle), the quantum origin, the inflation period (Guth) or superstrings.
This book is more a scientific explanation with charts and dwawings, but - not always easy - understandable for the layman.
I missed the speculation of a John Gribbin or a Martin Rees.
As in his other excellent book 'Theories of Everything', the author believes that "One day we may be able to say something about the origin of our own cosmic neighbourhood. But we can never know the origins of the universe. The deepest secrets are the ones that keep themselves."
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent - An even briefer history of Time
Comment: For anyone that enjoyed A Brief History of Time this is a excellent follow up. Great explanation of inflation and the possibilty of a non-singularity beginning of the universe.
Rating: 4
Summary: Interesting, but Confusing
Comment: I happened to pick this book up at a local Half Price Book seller near my home. It had some great information I needed for a school report, by nearly any of my class understood it. It still has some great theories and is a great read!
