Description - The Origin of the Universe: To the Edge of Space and Time by John D. Barrow
What does it mean to say that the universe appeared out of "nothing"? Did it need a beginning and will it ever end? Why do we think that most of the universe is invisible? This book describes the picture of the unvierse gleaned from the COBE satellite data and goes on to explain how these findings allow us to shed light on the events at the dawn of time. It gives the latest account of the Big Bang, looks at the enigma of "dark matter" and considers the possibilities and problems for further investigations of the most fundamental question in the scientific realm.
