The Universe – From the Big Bang to Black Holes
No. 121 MAY 2022
What is the universe? When and how did it begin? Would you like to know the answers to these questions from scientists over the past 100 years? If so, this book is for you. It discusses the universe, from the Big Bang to black holes, and current conjectures about the existence of many universes. It reveals, among many other things, that black holes have no hair and can swallow things travelling through space and passing near them if they are rotating, that the universe has been expanding at a fast pace for five billion years and only 5% of its composition is matter, the remaining 95% being shared by what are called dark matter and dark energy. Confused? No. Fascinating, especially because knowledge acquired through investigating deep space is increasingly reliable and it must be urgently translated into plain language.
