A new look at the first few seconds after the Big Bang--and how continuing research into these moments may transform cosmology and physics
Scientists in the past few decades have made crucial discoveries about how our cosmos evolved over the past 13.8 billion years. But there remains a critical gap in our knowledge: we still know very little about what happened in the first seconds after the Big Bang. At the Edge of Time focuses on what we have recently learned and are still striving to understand about this most essential and mysterious period of time at the beginning of cosmic history.
Taking readers into the remarkable world of cosmology, Dan Hooper describes many of the extraordinary and perplexing questions that scientists are asking about the origin and nature of our world. Hooper examines how we are using the Large Hadron Collider and other experiments to re-create the conditions of the Big Bang and test promising theories for how and why our universe came to contain so much matter and so little antimatter. We may be poised to finally discover how dark matter was formed during our universe's first moments, and, with new telescopes, we are also lifting the veil on the era of cosmic inflation, which led to the creation of our world as we know it.
Wrestling with the mysteries surrounding the initial moments that followed the Big Bang, At the Edge of Time presents an accessible investigation of our universe and its origin.

Описание: The leading mind behind the mathematics of string theory discusses how geometry explains the universe we see What if you were told that we actually live in a 10-dimensional universe-- that the leading theory of nature posits only 4 out of 10 are accessible to our everyday senses? How do we account for the other 6 dimensions? What do they look like, where are they hiding, and what, if anything at all, do they do? In The Shape of Inner Space, geometer and leading string theorist Shing- Tung Yau unpacks the widely-held belief that these undetected dimensions are tightly curled in elaborate, twisted shapes called "Calabi-Yau manifolds." Yau explains that these spaces are so miniscule that humans will probably never see any of them directly. Amazingly, however, this hidden realm may hold the answers to some of the most profound questions we have about our universe. In examining his life's work, Yau emphasises his most important finding: proof of the manifold's mathematical existence. This discovery has been critical in advancing our understanding of geometry and string theory, and, more broadly, physics and the universe. With this acquired knowledge, string theorists can go beyond the concept of the universe that Einstein left us with, and possibly expose some of nature's greatest mysteries. A fascinating exploration of a world we are only just beginning to grasp, The Shape of Inner Space will change the way we think about mathematics, cosmology, and our quest to learn the shape of the inner universe.

An expanded quantum theory of the Big Bang followed by an expansion based on the vacuum polarization of a vector field that directly relates it to the universal scale factor of the author. It is based on the massless QED theory that led to the author's successful exact calculation of the QED Fine Structure Constant of 1/137... The Hubble Constant, and universe energy density, pressure, deceleration parameter, equation of state and other relevant quantities are determined and copiously graphed. The universe is shown to expand and contract in a way that accounts for superclusters of galaxies, and great voids. The Hubble Constant displays the Big Dip of the author.
Fundamentals of living and nonliving universes addresses the most fundamental law that governs the known nonliving universe and its extension into the living universes. The author discusses major misconceptions regarding both realms. He introduces three major concepts for the first time:
1. Infinity wall, which argues with an ever-expanding universe theory that is currently widely accepted in scientific society.
2. Law of spontaneity, which describes how all the complex intracellular events are happening smoothly.
3. Quantum supervectors, which reprogram each cell according to its master regulator complex entropy.
The author also recognizes the urgent need for generation of a new field of science that he has coined quantum biology and training a new generation of scientists that could handle the massive challenges ahead of us in solving diseases like cancer.
The author also recognizes that deep understanding of simple events, both in living as well as nonliving universes, should become our major priority before our premature rush toward solving complex problems such as cancer and space travel.
