God and the Astronomers

Robert Jastrow

4.9/5 (12504 ratings)

Description:"When a scientist writes about God, his colleagues assume that he is over the hill or going bonkers," says Jastrow. While agnostic, he's fascinated by the implications of astronomical discoveries. The essence of them is that the cosmos had a beginning, under circumstances that seem to make it impossible to decide what force or forces brought it into being at that moment. If every effect in science has a cause, what caused the birth of the cosmos? Have scientists, with exquisite irony, brought themselves face to face with the possibility of god? The 1st edition of God & the Astronomers was published in '78. Major advances have occurred since. The expanded edition brings readers up to date on the latest developments in this chapter of scientific discovery. In a lucid, crisp style, enlivened by anecdotes from the lives of the principals, he describes the chain of events that forced astronomers to accept the validity of the Big Bang. He explains the clinching evidence for the Big Bang--the detection of the primordial fireball that enveloped the cosmos at the time of its formation.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
