“Science writing at its best.” ―New York Review of Books
Our universe has been growing for nearly fourteen billion years. But almost everything about it can be traced back to what happened in just the first three minutes of its existence.
In this book, Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg describes in wonderful detail what happened in these first three minutes. It is an exhilarating journey that begins with the Planck Epoch―the earliest period of time in the history of the universe―and goes through Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, the Hubble red shift, and the detection of the cosmic microwave background. These incredible discoveries all form the foundation for what we now understand as the “standard model” of the origin of the universe.
Clearly and accessibly written,The First Three Minutes is a modern-day classic, an unsurpassed explanation of where it is that everything really comes from.
