The Moment of Creation: Big Bang Physics from Before the First Millisecond to the Present Universe (Dover Science Books)

James S. Trefil

3/5 ( ratings)

Every civilization has attempted to explain how the world came to be, from the creation epics of antiquity to the impressive evidence acquired through modern scientific methods. In The Moment of Creation, physicist James Trefil--one of the founders of modern quark theory--recounts the recent explosion of knowledge about the early universe. After a brief historical introduction, he traverses the eons to bring readers within the first millisecond of the Big Bang. Trefil employs minimal mathematics to explain gauge theories, and he provides a fast track for those more interested in cosmology than physics. Compelling and lucid, his narrative not only offers a remarkable view of the universe's beginnings, but also speculates about its end.
