Was there a beginning of time?, Could time run backwards? and Is the universe infinite are just some of the questions considered in this book for the non-scientific layman. The author begins by reviewing the great theories of the cosmos from Newton to Einstein and then delves into the secrets which lie at the heart of space and time.

Addresses the nature of space and time, the role of God in creation, the history and future of the universe. This book guides nonscientists in the search for the tantalizing secrets at the heart of time and space.

George and Annie at Space Camp in America discover a mysterious riddle that will send them on an action-packed, rollercoaster trail across the universe, involving Martian sunsets, far-distant star systems and a dangerous enemy.

Allows readers to take a roller coaster ride through the vastness of space and discover the mysteries of physics, science and the universe with George, his new friends next door - the scientist Eric and his daughter, Annie - and a super-intelligent computer called Cosmos, which can take them to the edge of a black hole and back again.

A science book which discusses about the universe.

Unravelling the latest amazing breakthroughs in theoretical physics, Stephen Hawking guides the reader through the evolution of Einsteinian physics to a universe of ten dimensions and a so-called theory of everything.

In this revised edition, Stephen Hawking includes recent developments in the field of cosmology. Explaining his theories through a visual dimension, the book is designed to help the lay reader to understand abstract ideas, such as the big bang , black holes, and particle physics.

Quantum physics - or quantum mechanics as it is also called - completely shattered Newtonian laws and challenged scientists to think differently about matter and subatomic particles. This title leads the readers through important papers on quantum physics, including the scholarship of Niels Bohr, Max Planck, Werner Heisenberg, and Max Born.

Albert Einstein changed the way physicists view the universe - and transformed the way we all see the world. His Theory of Relativity stunned scientists, but it is integral to modern thought as the important scientific discovery of the twentieth century. This volume collects Einstein's own writings on the Theory of Relativity.

From the work that made modern scientific thought and his important discoveries, to his later musings on his landmark findings and his philosophical essays on Zionism and other important issues of the 20th Century, this work is an anthology of the scientist.

An easy-to-understand introduction to the complexities of today's and tomorrow's physics. The author assess what is and what is not actually possible according to the laws of physics, among all the weird and wonderful things that Kirk, Spock and Scottie got up to in their parallel universe.

Helps the reader understand the progression of mathematical thought, and the very foundations of technologies. This book includes landmark discoveries spanning 2500 years and representing the work of mathematicians such as Euclid, Georg Cantor, Kurt Godel, Augustin Cauchy, Bernard Riemann and Alan Turing.

Accessible and stimulating introduction to Roger Penrose's vision of theoretical physics for the twenty-first century.

Using the papers from Einstein, Copernicus, Galilei, Kepler and Newton, this title explains how these works changed the course of science, ushering astronomy and physics out of the Middle Ages and into the modern world.

George and his new friends next door - the scientist Eric and his daughter, Annie - try to discover the mysteries of physics, science and the universe with a super-intelligent computer called Cosmos, which can take them to the edge of a black hole and back again. Or can it?
