This book unravels the mysteries behind the Big Bang, the accelerating expansion of the universe, and the role of gravitational radiation and black holes in shaping our cosmos. With a comprehensive mathematical description of the oscillating universe and variable gravitational mass, readers will grasp the significance of the latest cosmological revolution sparked by the recent discoveries of gravitational waves. Students, professional astronomers and cosmologists will find this book to be a valuable resource, offering a popular presentation of the history of modern cosmology, discussions on recent discoveries in the study of the universe, and an introduction to the cutting-edge cyclic cosmology theory. This book provides a unique opportunity to understand the evolving landscape of cosmology and the implications of cyclic cosmology.
- Provides an introduction to the cyclic cosmology theory within the framework of General Relativity and explains the latest version of cyclic cosmology and its implications
- Engages readers with mathematical descriptions of the oscillating universe with variable gravitational mass; but is still accessible to lower-level audiences
- Delivers an exploration of the physical mechanism behind the Big Bang and the accelerating expansion of the universe
- Includes an analysis of the role of gravitational radiation and black holes in shaping the cosmos and examines the concept of positive cosmological constant or dark energy
- Discusses the latest cosmological revolution triggered by the discovery of gravitational waves in 2015
Students, professional astronomers and cosmologists because it represents the first attempt within the framework of General Relativity to construct a complete model of a pulsating Universe. It is also of interest to researchers from other fields because it provides a popular and objective overview of cosmology from Kant to the present day
