An expert's take on the possibility that space could have a multiply connected topology (e.g. a dodecahedral one). This affects the question of whether the universe is finite or infinite. Book translation (from French in this case) does take time but, in a fast-moving field like cosmology, a 7-year delay can be fatal; a 20-page afterword added to this English edition provides some obsolescence mitigation. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
What shape is the universe? Is it curved and closed in on itself? Is it expanding? Where is it headed? Could space be wrapped around itself, such that it produces ghost images of faraway galaxies? Such are the questions posed by Jean-Pierre Luminet in The Wraparound Universe, which he then addresses in clear and accessible language. An expert in black holes and the big bang, he leads us on a voyage through the surprising byways of space-time, where possible topologies of the universe, explorations of the infinite, and cosmic mirages combine their mysterious traits and unlock the imagination. The Wraparound Universe is a general-audience book about the overall topology or shape of the universe. The central question addressed is whether it is possible that the universe is wrapped around in an interesting way, and what impact this would have on astronomical observations and our understanding of cosmology. Along the way many of the general features and much of the history of the modern picture of cosmology are discussed. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
