Masks of the Universe（ISBN=9780521773515） 免费 夸克云 mobi azw3 pdf 下载 chm snb

　　To the ancient Greeks the universe consisted of earth, air,

fire, and water. To Saint Augustine it was the Word of God. To many

modern scientists it is the dance of atoms and waves, and in years

to come it may be different again. What then is the real Universe?

History shows that in every age each society constructs its own

universe, believing it to be the real and final Universe. Yet each

universe is only a model or mask of the unknown Universe.

Originally published in 2003, this book brings together fundamental

scientific, philosophical, and religious issues in cosmology,

raising thought-provoking questions. In every age people have

pitied the universes of their ancestors, convinced that they have

at last discovered the ultimate truth. Does the modern model stand

at the threshold of discovering everything, or will it, like all

the rest, come to be pitied?

书籍介绍

To the ancient Greeks the universe consisted of earth, air, fire, and water. To Saint Augustine it was the Word of God. To many modern scientists it is the dance of atoms and waves, and in years to come it may be different again. What then is the real Universe? History shows that in every age each society constructs its own universe, believing it to be the real and final Universe. Yet each universe is only a model or mask of the unknown Universe. Originally published in 2003, this book brings together fundamental scientific, philosophical, and religious issues in cosmology, raising thought-provoking questions. In every age people have pitied the universes of their ancestors, convinced that they have at last discovered the ultimate truth. Does the modern model stand at the threshold of discovering everything, or will it, like all the rest, come to be pitied?
