He describes how our understanding of \nthe Universe has developed from the discovery that the Universe is \nexpanding, to the idea that all matter originated in a hot, Big Bang, then \nexplains the many subtle improvements to the basic theory that have been \nnecessary to understand how the very smallest particles and earliest \nstructures (the 'microscale') in the Universe evolved to produce the \nUniverse as it is now (the 'macroscale').  The author also describes how \nscientists are attempting to develop a 'Theory of Everything' that would \nexplain how an instant after the Big Bang a single primordial force was \ntransformed into the four forces of nature that we observe today, which \nhitherto were believed to be 'fundamental'.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2003-05-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781852337131\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 262\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46915219128460,"sku":"9781852337131","price":34.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781852337131.jpg?v=1774492805","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781852337131","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
