On the Origin of Time

 Thomas Hertog 

 

Hertog’s book is a fascinating tour of cosmology, the science of the Universe’s origins ― Nature

 

‘A wonderful book about Stephen Hawking’s biggest legacy’ Spectator

 

‘This superbly written book offers insight into an extraordinary individual, the creative process, and the scope and limits of our current understanding of the cosmos’ Sir Martin Rees

 

Stephen Hawking’s closest collaborator offers the intellectual superstar’s final thoughts on the cosmos.

 

Perhaps the biggest question Stephen Hawking tried to answer in his extraordinary life was how the universe could have created conditions so perfectly hospitable to life. In order to solve this mystery, Hawking studied the big bang origin of the universe, but his early work ran into a crisis when the math predicted many big bangs producing a multiverse – countless different universes, most of which would be far too bizarre to? harbor life.

 

Holed up in the theoretical physics department at Cambridge, Stephen Hawking and his friend and collaborator Thomas Hertog worked on this problem for twenty years, developing a new theory of the cosmos that could account for the emergence of life.

 

Peering into the extreme quantum physics of cosmic holograms and venturing far back in time, they were startled to find a deeper level of evolution in which the physical laws themselves transform and simplify until particles, forces, and even time itself fade away.

This discovery led them to a revolutionary idea: The laws of physics are not set in stone but are born and co-evolve as the universe they govern takes shape.

 

As Hawking’s final days drew near, the two collaborators published their theory, which proposed a radical new Darwinian perspective on the origins of our universe.

 

On the Origin of Time offers a striking new vision of the universe’s birth that will profoundly transform the way we think about our place in the order of the cosmos and may ultimately prove to be Hawking’s greatest legacy.

    Mysteries of the Universe: Answerable and Unanswerable Questions

     Rs. 2,290.00
    or 3 X Rs.763.33 with
    Peter Altman
    Answerable and Unanswerable Questions Does alien life exist? Is time travel possible? How did the Universe begin and how will it end? Is the future pre-determined? These are just some of the fascinating questions posed in this book which stretches across physics, the life sciences and cosmology. Each chapter considers a separate question and ends with either an answer or, if there is insufficient evidence, a ‘best guess’ answer. For every question addressed here—be it time travel, multiple universes, intergalactic travel, or the end of the world—the author has tried to exhaust all possibilities before arriving at a conclusion. Everyone will have their own opinion but one thing is certain— Mysteries of the Universe will fascinate, educate, and stimulate.

    Apollo 11: The Inside Story

     Rs. 2,790.00
    or 3 X Rs.930.00 with

    David Whitehouse

     

    ‘Fast-paced and tremendously readable … What makes this book really stand out from other Apollo based books is the inclusion of long quotes from interviews with astronauts such as John Glenn (the first American to orbit Earth), Eugene Cernan (the last man to walk on the Moon) and, of course, Neil Armstrong himself.’ ***** Book of the Month ― BBC Sky at Night magazine
     

    The book is at its most successful when Whitehouse gets out of the way of its protagonists, letting the astronauts and cosmonauts offer their own verbatim accounts of their often perilous – and occasionally fatal – missions. The real strength of this book is its tribute to the human qualities of these men – and they are all men, with the exception of the brief but gripping story of one female cosmonaut – who were willing to sacrifice so much. ― The Irish News
     

    In the most authoritative book ever written about Apollo, David Whitehouse reveals the true drama behind the mission, telling the story in the words of those who took part based around exclusive interviews with the key players … [An] enthralling book ― All About Space

     

    David Whitehouse’s masterly narration of what he calls ‘the inside story’ is profoundly gratifying. –– The Spectator

    Ervin Laszlo

     

    “Intelligence of the Cosmos” is a book authored by Ervin Laszlo, a philosopher, systems theorist, and integral theorist. The book explores the idea that the universe is not a meaningless, random collection of atoms and particles, but rather a living, intelligent entity that is constantly evolving and expanding. Laszlo draws on scientific research from fields such as quantum physics, cosmology, and neuroscience to support his ideas, and argues that the universe has an inherent intelligence that underlies all of existence. The book has been praised for its thought-provoking ideas and its ability to inspire readers to contemplate the nature of the universe and their place in it.

    “[Hawking] sprinkles his explanations with a wry sense of humor and a keen awareness that the sciences today delve not only into the far reaches of the cosmos, but into the inner philosophical world as well.”—The New York Times Book Review

     

     Thirteen extraordinary essays shed new light on the mystery of the universe—and on one of the most brilliant thinkers of our time.

     

    In his phenomenal bestseller A Brief History of Time, Stephen Hawking literally transformed the way we think about physics, the universe, reality itself. In these thirteen essays and one remarkable extended interview, the man widely regarded as the most brilliant theoretical physicist since Einstein returns to reveal an amazing array of possibilities for understanding our universe.

     

    Building on his earlier work, Hawking discusses imaginary time, how black holes can give birth to baby universes, and scientists’ efforts to find a complete unified theory that would predict everything in the universe. With his characteristic mastery of language, his sense of humor and commitment to plain speaking, Stephen Hawking invites us to know him better—and to share his passion for the voyage of intellect and imagination that has opened new ways to understanding the very nature of the cosmos.

    Marek Kukula

     

    The scale of the cosmos can be baffling, with distances so vast and timescales to long that it’s easy to dismiss them as being completely divorced from our everyday life. But in this new book Dr Marek Kukula, Public Astronomer at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, shows you the myriad ways we are intrinsically connected to the rest of the universe and how everything on Earth – from the ground beneath our feet to the technology in our pockets – has origins in space.

     

    Discover how rocks from space reveal what conditions are like at our planet’s core, how the desolate surface of the moon holds ancient clues to Earth’s earliest life forms, and how buried treasure in the Nile reveals the watery past of Mars. Discover how the atoms of your own body were forged in the heart of a star, how you can see the echo of creation on your TV, and the ways in which technology developed for observing the most far-flung corners of space is now used to diagnose potentially fatal human diseases.

     

    The Intimate Universe is a curated tour of the most fascinating phenomena and discoveries in astronomy, revealing how we are inextricably, inspirationally linked to the cosmos.
