What is Space and Time in the Modern Universe about?
The structure of space and time lies at the very foundation of both physical science and our perceptual experience of the world. They are concepts so fundamental that in every-day life we do not question their properties. Yet modern science has discovered situations in which space and time can change their character so drastically that remarkable and unexpected phenomena occur. Writing in an authoritative yet straightforward style requiring no prior knowledge of advanced mathematics or physics, Dr Davies explores the changing ideas of space and time particularly as illustrated by their application to astronomical and cosmological scenarios: for example, black holes, the big bang and the ultimate fate of the universe. Careful discussions of well established physics, such as relativity, electromagnetic waves and laws of motion, are accompanied by exciting and provocative recent developments. Contentious topics such as space-time singularities, the quantum evaporation of black holes and man's place in the universe are treated with a clear distinction between fact and conjecture. Here is an engaging account, enjoyable to read and enlivened by informal diagrams, of some of the most intr
