Quantum Physics and Cosmology
The Mysteries of the Infinitely Small and the Infinitely Large
About this book
Fascinating discoveries have been made in recent years in the fields of the infinitely large and the infinitely small, and unexpected connections have emerged between these previously independent domains. Quantum physics, which challenges the way we conceive the reality around us, contributes to our attempt at understanding the greatest mysteries of cosmology on the scale of the Universe as a whole.
Recent astronomical observations, made with increasingly powerful instruments, have led us to understand that only 5% of what constitutes the Universe is known to us. Understanding the remaining 95% leads us to use quantum physics, which seems to indicate that the world around us is not as real as it intuitively appears to be.
Quantum Physics and Cosmology presents, in as accessible a manner as possible, the state of the art in these various scientific fields.
