Flashes of Creation: George Gamow, Fred Hoyle, and the Great Big Bang Debate (Halpern Paul)(Pevná vazba)
EAN: 9781541673595
The great debate over the Big Bang and the quest to understand the fate of the universe
Today, the Big Bang is so entrenched in our understanding of the cosmos that to doubt it would seem crazy. But as Paul Halpern shows in Flashes of Creation, just decades ago its mere mention caused sparks to fly. At the center of the debate were Russian American physicist George Gamow and British astrophysicist Fred Hoyle. Gamow insisted that a fiery explosion explained how the elements of the universe were created. Attacking the idea as half-baked, Hoyle countered that the universe was engaged in a never-ending process of creation. The battle was fierce. In the end, Gamow turned out to be right -- mostly -- and Hoyle, along with his many achievements, is remembered for giving the theory the silliest possible name: The Big Bang. Halpern captures the brilliance of both thinkers
