But almost everything about it can be traced back to what happened in just the first three minutes of its existence.\n\nIn this book, Nobel laureate Steven Weinberg describes in wonderful detail what happened in these first three minutes. It is an exhilarating journey that begins with the Planck Epoch―the earliest period of time in the history of the universe―and goes through Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, the Hubble red shift, and the detection of the cosmic microwave background. These incredible discoveries all form the foundation for what we now understand as the “standard model” of the origin of the universe.\n\nClearly and accessibly written, The First Three Minutes is a modern-day classic, an unsurpassed explanation of where it is that everything really comes from.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0465024378\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0465024378.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Weinberg, Steven\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
