This book is an introduction to gravitational waves and related astrophysics. It provides a bridge across the range of astronomy, physics, and cosmology that comes into play when trying to understand the gravitational-wave sky. Starting with Einstein's...

The 'arrow of time,' a concept first introduced by Sir Arthur Eddington, reflects the one-way flow of time and its association with various physical asymmetries in thermodynamics, cosmology, quantum mechanics, field theories, and beyond. Yet, the...

Beyond the Standard Model: Advanced Theories in Particle Physics provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of research in the field, as well as the theories and models that are being developed to explain the unexplained phenomena in the...

The physical universe is a most peculiar concept, not only different from the objects it contains but also from space itself. Cosmology - the science that seeks to explain it - has always differed from other sciences, drawing on philosophy and even...

This work investigates the theoretical and cosmological implications of modifying Einstein's theory of general relativity. It explores two classes of modifications to gravity: those in which the graviton is given a small mass, and those in which Lorentz...

Several of the very foundations of the cosmological standard model - the baryon asymmetry of the universe, dark matter, and the origin of the hot big bang itself - still call for an explanation from the perspective of fundamental physics. This work...

A thrilling exploration of competing cosmological origin stories, comparing new scientific ideas that upend our very notions of space, time, and reality. By most popular accounts, the universe started with a bang some 13.8 billion years ago. But what...

Confidence in Life offers a theologically-robust evaluation of the good of procreation, which emerges out of both careful interactions with contemporary analytic philosophy and a reconstructed reading of Karl Barth's doctrine of (pro)creation. While...

A breathtaking and beautiful exploration of our planet, this groundbreaking book accompanies the acclaimed BBC TV series, providing the deepest answers to the simplest questions. 'What is motion?''Why is every snowflake different?''Why is life...

New Cosmic Horizons tells the extraordinary story of space-based astronomy since the Second World War. Starting with the launch of the V2 rocket in 1946, this book explores the triumphs of space experiments and spacecraft designs and the amazing...

The theory of relativity describes the laws of physics in a given space-time. However, a physical theory must provide observational predictions expressed in terms of measurements, which are the outcome of practical experiments and observations. Ideal for...

The Provocative Classic The Privileged Planet in a Fully Revised, 20th Anniversary Edition! Are we just an accident of cosmic evolution? Is Earth a "lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark" as the late Carl Sagan put it? Or is there more to the...

This book provides a concise introduction to the mathematical aspects of the origin, structure and evolution of the universe. The book begins with a brief overview of observational and theoretical cosmology, along with a short introduction to general...

From the Nobel Prize-winning physicist, a personal meditation on the quest for objective reality in natural scienceA century ago, thoughtful people questioned how reality could agree with physical theories that kept changing, from a mechanical model of...
