Download Cycles of Time: An Extraordinary New View of the Universe AudioBook Free
In the best-selling writer of The Emperor's New Brain and The Street to Certainty, a groundbreaking book that provides new views on three of cosmology's most serious questions: What, if anything, emerged prior to the Big Bang? What is the source of order inside our universe? What is its ultimate future?Current knowledge of our universe dictates that all matter will eventually thin out to zero density, with huge dark openings finally evaporating away into massless energy. Roger Penrose-one of the most innovative mathematicians in our time-turns around this predominant picture of the universe's "heat death," arguing how the expected ultimate fate in our accelerating, expanding universe can in fact be reinterpreted as the "Big Bang" of a new one.Along the way to this remarkable cosmological picture, Penrose sheds new light on basic principles that underlie the habit of our universe, describing various standard and nonstandard cosmological models, the essential role of the cosmic microwave track record, and the key status of dark holes. Ideal for both the novice astronomer and the advanced physicist-with a great deal of exciting insights for each-Cycles of Time is for certain to provoke and challenge.Intellectually thrilling and accessible, this is another essential guide to the universe from one in our preeminent thinkers.
