Description
At the Edge of Time explores the mysteries of our universe's first seconds. Scientists have made crucial discoveries about the cosmos' evolution over 13.8 billion years, but there remains a critical gap in knowledge: what happened in the first seconds after the Big Bang. Recent research has shed light on this period, and Dan Hooper delves into the remarkable science of cosmology to describe the extraordinary questions being asked about the origin and nature of our world. The Large Hadron Collider and other experiments are re-creating the conditions of the Big Bang, testing theories for how and why our universe contains so much matter and so little antimatter. The book presents an accessible investigation into our universe and its origin, wrestling with the mysteries surrounding the initial moments that followed the Big Bang.
