How We Came to Know the Cosmos by Dr Helen Klus Pdf
We live in a universe that is both infinite and ever expanding, that contains dimensions we can never see, and places we can never go, even if we travelled forever. There may be millions of planets in our galaxy that contain life and there may be multitudes upon multitudes of multiverses. This means everything that's physically possible may be happening somewhere. How We Came to Know the Cosmos explains the simple discoveries made in prehistoric times, and how we built on them, little by little, until the conclusions of modern theories seem obvious and inevitable. How We Came to Know the Cosmos: Space & Time shows how problems prior to the 20th Century led to the development of general and special relativity, the theory of the big bang, and an understanding of how stars, galaxies, and planets form. It then looks at our exploration of the universe and asks how we might find evidence of alien life. The truth is more mysterious, more extraordinary, and more compelling than fiction.
