Edition: First Pegasus Books hardcover edition.
Description: 303 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm
A groundbreaking guide to the universe and how our latest deep-space discoveries are forcing us to revisit what we know―and what we don't. This is the first book to address what will be an epoch-defining scientific paradigm shift. Stuart Clark will ask if Newton's famous laws of gravity need to be rewritten; if dark matter and dark energy are just celestial phantoms? Can we ever know what happened before the Big Bang? What’s at the bottom of a black hole? Are there universes beyond our own? Does time exist? Are the once immutable laws of physics changing?
Contents:
The day we saw the universe -- The architect of the universe -- Selene's secrets -- Gravity's crucible -- The stellar bestiary -- Holes in the universe -- The luxuriant garden -- Chiaroscuro -- The day without yesterday -- Timescapes and multiverses -- Solving the singularity.
