Descriere magazin:
A respected physics professor and author breaks down the great debate over the Big
Bang and the continuing quest to understand the fate of the universe. Today, the Big
Bang is so entrenched in our understanding of the cosmos that to doubt it would seem crazy. But as
Paul Halpern shows in
Flashes of
Creation , just decades ago its mere mention caused sparks to fly. At the center of the debate were Russian American physicist
George Gamow and British astrophysicist
Fred Hoyle.
Gamow insisted that a fiery explosion explained how the elements of the universe were created. Attacking the idea as half-baked,
Hoyle countered that the universe was engaged in a never-ending process of creation. The battle was fierce. In the end,
Gamow turned out to be right -- mostly -- and
Hoyle, despite his many achievements, is remembered for giving the theory the silliest possible name: "The Big
Bang."
Halpern captures the brilliance of both thinkers and reminds us that even those proved wrong have much to teach us about boldness, imagination, and the universe itself. About author(s):
