John Gribbin
9780140177923
Gribbin draws on the latest measurements of the Universe through the COBE satellite and our current understanding of the Big Bang to address the questions of how and why the Universe came into being, and what its future evolution holds in store.
The COBE provided evidence of the long-theorized "ripples in the fabric of spacetime" (brief fluctuations in microwave radiation still echoing from the first trillionth of a second after the cataclysmic birth of creation), which prompted Gribbin to explore the significance of this discovery and synthesize his proposed theory of the Universe.
Though controversial, his portrait gives us a glimpse of the Universe's first birth pangs, the nature of life and the way evolution works, the geography of the Universe and all it contains, and the way in which the "black hole bounce" enables the Universe to reproduce itself.
