Over the last three decades the theory has been repeatedly revised to address such issues as how galaxies and stars first formed and why the expansion of the universe is speeding up today. Furthermore, an explanation has yet to be found for what caused the Big Bang in the first place.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEndless Universe\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, Paul J. Steinhardt and Neil Turok, both distinguished theoretical physicists, present a bold new cosmology. Steinhardt and Turok “contend that what we think of as the moment of creation was simply part of an infinite cycle of titanic collisions between our universe and a parallel world” (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDiscover\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e). They recount the remarkable developments in astronomy, particle physics, and superstring theory that form the basis for their groundbreaking “Cyclic Universe” theory. According to this theory, the Big Bang was not the beginning of time but the bridge to a past filled with endlessly repeating cycles of evolution, each accompanied by the creation of new matter and the formation of new galaxies, stars, and planets.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEndless Universe\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e provides answers to longstanding problems with the Big Bang model, while offering a provocative new view of both the past and the future of the cosmos.  It is a “theory that could solve the cosmic mystery” (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e).\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Best of Used books","offers":[{"title":"Used","offer_id":44466091720961,"sku":"2WF694AV5-Used","price":399.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0421\/4299\/0495\/files\/FJD_1a5f0861-5bf9-4c62-a715-21c395080fdb.jpg?v=1708341540","url":"https:\/\/bestofusedbooks.com\/products\/endless-universe-beyond-the-big-bang-rewriting-cosmic-history","provider":"Best Of Used Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
