Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. In 1965, two engineers in New Jersey tried to blame pigeons for a noise that would not go away. The noise turned out to be the oldest light in the universe, still arriving from every direction at once, cooling by one ten-billionth of a degree with every minute that passes. That light has been called the afterglow of the Big Bang - a phrase that is, strictly speaking, wrong. The cosmic background radiation is not the universe being born. It is the universe becoming transparent, roughly three hundred eighty thousand years after an event that had already quietly set the stage.This book tells the story of that earlier event, and of the strange and beautiful family of signals it left behind. It takes the reader from a static-crippled antenna in Holmdel to the microwave maps of the 2020s, from the perfect oven law of a forgotten German physicist to the pulsar-timing array that heard a hum in 2023 that nobody could quite explain. Along the way it introduces eight predictions meeting eight fresh observations, a cosmic axis that points, if you care to look, toward the constellation Leo, and a Reviews of Modern Physics colloquium from late 2025 that finally admitted what the data had been saying for a decade: the universe is not quite as uniform as the textbooks insisted.Grounded in three recent technical papers, the book translates their arguments into plain language for readers who love cosmology but prefer their equations metaphorical. It is a book about a single phase transition, many witnesses, and what happens when the sky stops being silent. cosmology, cosmic microwave background, phase transition, quantum vacuum, gravitational waves, dark energy, topology of space This item is printed on demand.
