Cosmology: Understanding the Evolution of the Universe

by Shalini Saxena (Editor)

Bridging astronomy and physics, cosmology seeks to examine the nature of the universe as a whole. Scientific investigation of cosmology began in ancient times and progressed rapidly after the Scientific Revolution, which produced the discovery of gravity and the heliocentric model of Copernicus. This volume examines the historical developments in the field of cosmology, the evidence supporting the Big Bang theory, and the future implications of dark matter and an expanding universe. Readers will also be introduced to the various thinkers who helped advance study of this endlessly fascinating field.

Cosmology is a complicated subject, full of concepts that are not easily grasped. This book tied together the study of the subject, from its beginning to the current time period.
