{"product_id":"in-search-of-the-big-bang","title":"In Search of the Big Bang","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhere do we come from? How did the Universe of stars, planets and people come into existence? The questions are much older than science-but in the 1980s, for the first time, science is able to answer them, not just in a vague way but in incredible detail. Here award-winning author John Gribbin tells the story of the Universe, from the moment of creation to the present day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo great theories transformed science in the early part of the twentieth century. One is Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, which describes the Universe at large and the nature of space and time. The other is quantum physics, which describes the very small, the world within the atom, and the interchange of mass and energy. Fifty years ago, they seemed as different as chalk and cheese: two great, but unrelated, aspects of modern science. But for the past half century they have steadily grown together. We now know that at the earliest moments of creation, both General Relativity and quantum physics are needed to describe the events which led, ultimately, to our Universe and ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe triumph of science will be the development of a single, unified theory that explains the origin of the Universe and its subsequent evolution in one package. John Gribbin shows how close physicists are to achieving that triumph, and traces the historical path which has led them to an understanding of the Big Bang, the fireball in which our Universe was born.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Best Of Used Books","offers":[{"title":"Used","offer_id":45777411834113,"sku":"32DLRTUYP-Used","price":150.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0421\/4299\/0495\/files\/1_5347406d-e68d-4658-a20d-f19a04fe03ab.jpg?v=1732003713","url":"https:\/\/bestofusedbooks.com\/products\/in-search-of-the-big-bang","provider":"Best Of Used Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
