- El cosmos en la palma de la mano : del Big Bang a nuestro origen en el polvo de estrellas / by Lozano Leyva, Manuel.(CARDINAL)894088;
El cosmos y el origen de la vida narrado como una apasionante historia ejemplos comprensible para todos los públicos.¿Cómo podemos pedir que alguien imagine una distancia de dos mil millones de años luz? Con el objetivo de que el lector tenga una idea clara del universo en que vivimos, este libro presenta, de forma amena y pedagógica, aunque supeditada al rigor científico, el sistema solar, las galaxias, el origen y la estructura del Universo, el nacimiento, vida y muerte de las estrellas, la generación del Sol y sus planetas y, finalmente, el surgimiento de la vida. El lector podrá comprobar que la parte esencial de nuestro ser y nuestro entorno proviene del polvo de las estrellas, esparcido por doquier cuando éstas mueren- Subjects: Novels.; Cosmology.;

- The infinite cosmos : questions from the frontiers of cosmology / by Silk, Joseph,1942-(CARDINAL)144941;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- Perspectives -- Principles -- Our neighbourhood -- The universe of galaxies -- The invisible cosmos -- Supermassive black holes and galaxy formation -- Clusters and clustering -- Space is nearly flat -- Dark energy and the runaway universe --The panacea of cold dark matter -- Origins -- The seeds of structure -- Beyond the beginning -- Towards the infinite universe -- From time to time machines -- A brief moment in time -- Into the infinite future -- And so to God -- Where next?"In The Infinite Cosmos Joseph Silk takes the reader on a tour of the universe, past, present, and future, showing how the very latest observations and theories are unlocking clues about its origin and structure. X-ray, radio, and high-energy views of space are revealing fossil radiation left over from the big bang and providing us with unprecedented views of the most distant reaches of the universe. Theories from the frontiers of current research seek to explain its structure from the first moments to the present day, and we are beginning to understand its extraordinary nature and possible fate." "This is a story involving the visible and the invisible; subatomic particles and unusual forces; long ages of darkness and spectacular and violent events. It tells of supernovae, dark matter, dark energy, curved spacetime, colliding galaxies, and supermassive black holes. Weaving the ideas of poets and writers as well as scientists into the story, from Kant and Keats to Einstein and Lemaitre. Silk explains our present state of knowledge, and how much more there is to understand about our infinite cosmos."--Jacket.- Subjects: Cosmology.;

- God and the multiverse : humanity's expanding view of the cosmos / by Stenger, Victor J.,1935-2014.(CARDINAL)768546;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 409-431) and index.From myth to science -- Toward the new cosmos -- Beyond unaided human vision -- Glimpses of the unimagined -- Heat, light, and the atom -- The second physics revolution -- Island universes -- A dynamic cosmos -- Nuclear cosmology -- Relics of the Big Bang -- Particles and the cosmos -- Inflation-- Falling up -- Modeling the universe -- The eternal multiverse -- Life and God."Cosmologists have reasons to believe that the vast universe in which we live is just one of an endless number of other universes within a multiverse--a mind-boggling array that may extend indefinitely in space and endlessly in both the past and the future. In this comprehensive history of multiverse theory, Victor Stenger reviews the key developments in the history of science that led to the current consensus view of astrophysicists, taking pains to explain essential concepts and discoveries in accessible language. He shows that science's emerging understanding of the multiverse--consisting of trillions upon trillions of galaxies--is fully explicable in naturalistic terms with no need for supernatural forces to explain its origin or ongoing existence. How can conceptions of God, traditional or otherwise, be squared with this new world view? The author shows how, in the light of science, long-held beliefs will need to undergo major revision or otherwise face eventual extinction."--Publisher description.- Subjects: Cosmology.;

- A big bang in a little room : the quest to create new universes / by Merali, Zeeya,author.(CARDINAL)340217;
Includes bibliographical references and index.God's billboard: the cosmic microwave background -- Beyond space and time: the quantum realm -- Inflating the universe -- Bursting inflation's bubble -- Universe to multiverse -- The accidental universe makers -- A baby universe, a string multiverse, or God? explaining our tailor-made universe -- The little bang theory: or how to grow a universe from a monopole -- Postcards from the edge: detecting and communicating with our baby universe -- Living in the matrix: a self-regulation guide for universe-makers."What if you could become God, with the ability to build a whole new universe in the lab? As startling as it sounds, modern physics suggests that within the next two decades, scientists may be able to perform this seemingly divine feat--to concoct an entirely new baby universe, complete with its own physical laws, star systems, galaxies, and even intelligent life. To create your own cosmos, you would need a particle accelerator, such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva or one of the proposed next-generation colliders, a lot of physics know-how, and a bit of luck. A Big Bang in a Little Room will take the reader on a journey through the history of cosmology and unravel--particle-by-particle, theory-by-theory, and experiment-by-experiment--the ideas behind this provocative claim made by some of the most-respected physicists alive today. Beyond simply explaining the science, A Big Bang in a Little Room will also tell the story of the people who have been plugging away for more than thirty years to make this seemingly impossible dream a reality, pushing the boundaries of our understanding of the cosmos and our place in it as humans. A Big Bang in a Little Room will examine their extravagant plans, which include current and future space missions, accelerator runs, and table-top lab experiments to search for evidence supporting their ideas. In the process, the book will ask deep philosophical questions about what it means for us, as humans, to begin to contemplate creating a new universe. Remarkable in its originality and ambition, A Big Bang in a Little Room is the ideal read for anyone seeking to understand the making of our universe--as well as the others just waiting to be created"--- Subjects: Cosmology.;

The universe it reveals doesn't rely on unknowable precursors in the ancient, untestable past. The universe it reveals won't collapse or grow old and die. Null Physics tells us why the universe exists, how the universe exists, and why it is the way it is"--Cover, p. 2.- Subjects: Cosmology.; Quantum cosmology.;
