Condizione: Gut. 386 Seiten / p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - A world-renowned cosmologist and an innovative writer on the history and philosophy of science present a new, scientifically supported understanding of the universe, one that profoundly changes our relationship to the cosmos. -- For thousands of years, humans thought of themselves as central to the universe and created symbols and myths to make sense of the world and their special place in it. When Copernicus and Galileo shattered the view of Earth as the center of the universe, we turned away from the intuitive symbols that had sustained our ancestors, and for the past four hundred years we have seen ourselves as adrift, living on an inconsequential rock in an endless expanse of space. -- But recent discoveries in astronomy, physics, and cosmology have uncovered an astonishing truth: Humans actually are central to the universe in profound and important ways that derive directly from scienceways that Copernicus and Galileo could never have imagined. -- In this strikingly original book, Joel R. Primack and Nancy Ellen Abrams argue that, for the first time in human history, a scientific theory of the universe as a whole is emerginga theory that explains how the universe operates, what it's made of, where it came from, and how it's evolving. Drawing from the latest discoveries and ideas in astrophysics and cosmology, Primack and Abrams show how we are indeed central to the universe and what this might mean for our culture and our personal lives. The result is revolutionary: a science-based cosmology that allows us to understand the universe as a whole and our extraordinary place in it. We are the first generation, the authors explain, capable of grasping what the nature of the universe may imply about Earthand how this knowledge can be used to protect the long-term future of our planet. -- Primack is one of the world's leading cosmologists and an originator and developer of the theory of Cold Dark Matter, now accepted as the standard theory of the structure and evolution of the universe, while Abrams is a gifted writer who expresses the life-changing significance of these cosmic discoveries. They have written a book that requires from us no prior scientific knowledge and that satisfies our fundamental need for meaning in our world and in our lives. Lyrical and readable, yet fact-based and rigorous, The View from the Center of the Universe is a fascinating exploration for all of us who have ever wondered how we fit into the universe.
