| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc | Key Features:Combines a general, historical approach to contemporary cosmology with a critical analysis of relevant theoretical developments and observational resultsPresents intuitive evaluations of masses, distances and times in the universeFocuses on cosmology and transcendence: the Universe is intelligible because its observer, man, was gifted by the Creator with the intelligence and curiosity to investigate itChapters 7 and 8, by John C Mather and George F Smoot, respectively, give a colorful and comprehensive account of the COBE's results in whose recognition they were awarded the 2006 Nobel Prize for PhysicsChapters 14 through 17 present the medieval roots of contemporary physics and cosmology. |
