It was in antiquity that humankind first attempted to explain the universe often with the help of myths and legends. This book, however, focuses on the time when cosmology finally became a true science. As the reader will learn, this was a slow process, extending over a large part of the 20th century and involving many astronomers, cosmologists and theoretical physicists. The book explains how empirical astronomical data (e.g., Leavitt, Slipher and Hubble) were reconciled with Einsteins general relativity; a challenge which finally led Friedmann, De Sitter and Lematre, and eventually Einstein himself, to a consistent understanding of the observational results.</p><p>The reader will realize the extraordinary implications of these achievements and howdeeply they changed our vision of the cosmos: From being small, static, immutable and eternal, it became vast and dynamical - originating from (almost) nothing, and yet now, nearly 14 billion years later, undergoing accelerated expansion. But, as always happens, as well as precious knowledge, new mysteries have also been created where previously absolute certainty had reigned.</p>...3445464The True Story of Modern Cosmology780867https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-true-story-of-modern-cosmology-9783030806545/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3203595/9d3689d8-3156-43e0-9789-5a21e6971e8c.jpg?v=638385024753030000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20219783030806545_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_<p>This book tells the story of how, over the past century, dedicated observers and pioneering scientists achieved our current understanding of the universe.
