big bang theory

". . . tells the story of the greatest quest in science. When Newton discovered the laws of motion and gravity, he unified the rules of heaven and earth. From then on, physicists have been discovering new forces and incorporating them into ever-greater theories. But the major breakthroughs of the 20th century--relativity and quantum mechanics--are incompatible, and so since then, physicists have been endeavoring to combine these two theories. This would ultimately tie all the forces in the universe together into one beautiful equation that can unlock the deepest mysteries of space and time. That epic journey is the story of this book"--.

Tells the life story of Georges Lema?tre, the twentieth-century Belgian priest who became the father of modern cosmology, and chronicles the history of the study of the universe's expansion.

"This humorous informational picture book about the history of the universe answers some of the biggest questions humans have ever asked - like how the universe began and where we came from. Young readers will learn all about the Big Bang theory, how our solar system and planet were formed, how life began in the oceans and moved to land, what happened to the dinosaurs and how humans evolved from apes to explore, build communities all over the world .. . and eventually even travel to space"--Provided by publisher.

"This . . . scientific timeline of the journey of human existence is designed to get young readers asking questions, finding answers, and marveling at the many wonders of our world from the big bang, to evolution, to a brand-new baby"--Dust jacket.

Examines the cosmological science that researchers are doing to replicate the first few moments after the Big Bang. Describes how the Hadron Collider is used to replicate the first few moments that might explain the nature of our world and how that matter came into being.

Text and photographs provide a straight forward account of the creation of the universe as explained by the Big Bang theory.

Simplified explanations and dynamic images of complex scientific concepts such as dark energy, dark matter, and the cosmic microwave background.

This book will help students understand the observational evidence supporting the Big Bang theory and speculate on the ultimate fate of the universe it implies.

George tries to escape a host of problems by going to Switzerland to help his friend Annie's father, Eric, run an experiment exploring the origins of the universe, but faces saboteurs and a mysterious message from George's old nemesis, Reeper, there. Includes scientific essays exploring the latest theories on the origin of the universe.
