Descrizione
8vo 500 pages As described on the back cover: " 'Cosmology and Controversy' presents the development of scientific cosmology for the first time as a historical event, one that embroiled many scientists in a controversy over the very notion of an evolving universe with a beginning in time. Helge Kragh examines how the big-bang theory drew inspiration from and eventually triumphed over rival views, mainly the steady-state theory and its concept of a stationary universe of infinite age. By exploring the similarities and tensions between the theories, Kragh provides the reader with indispensable background for understanding much of today's commentary about our universe."
