PDF-(BOOS)-A Big Bang in a Little Room: The Quest to Create New Universes

An awardwinning science writer takes us into the lab to answer some of lifes biggest questions How was the universe created And could we create our ownWhat if you could become God with the ability to build a whole new universe As startling as it sounds modern physics suggests that within the next two decades scientists may be able to perform this seemingly divine featto concoct an entirely new baby universe complete with its own physical laws star systems galaxies and even intelligent life A Big Bang in a Little Room takes the reader on a journey through the history of cosmology and unravelsparticle by particle theory by theory and experiment by experimentthe ideas behind this provocative claim made by some of the most respected physicists alive today Beyond simply explaining the science A Big Bang in a Little Room also tells the story of the people who have been laboring for more than thirty years to make this seemingly impossible dream a reality What has driven them to continue on what would seem at first glance to be a quixotic questThis mindboggling book reveals that we can nurse other worlds in the tiny confines of a lab raising a daunting prospect Was our universe too brought into existence by a daring creator.

The concept of multiple unperceived dimensions in the universe is one of the hottest topics in contemporary physics. It is essential to current attempts to explain gravity and the underlying structure of the universe. The Great Beyond begins with Einstein’s famous quarrel with Heisenberg and Bohr, whose theories of uncertainty threatened the order Einstein believed was essential to the universe, and it was his rejection of uncertainty that drove him to ponder the existence of a fifth dimension. Beginning with this famous disagreement and culminating with an explanation of the newest brane approach, author Paul Halpern shows how current debates about the nature of reality began as age-old controversies, and addresses how the possibility of higher dimensions has influenced culture over the past one hundred years. The Universe. The big bang theory. Happened approximately 13.5 billion years ago. The Big Bang was caused by the density of the compressed galaxies. It was in a very high density state, then it expanded. After the beginning expansion, it cool to let subatomic particles and later on, simple atoms to form. .
