CYCLES OF TIME - ROGER PENROSE KARTONIERT (TB)

** WINNER OF THE 2020 NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSICS**    What came before the Big Bang?     How did
the universe begin and must it inevitably end?    In this remarkable book Roger Penrose
brilliantly illuminates some of the deepest mysteries of the universe.    Cycles of Time
contains a penetrating analysis of the second law of thermodynamics - according to which the
'randomness' of our world is continually increasing - and a thorough examination of the
light-cone geometry of space-time. It combines these two central themes to show how the
expected ultimate fate of our accelerating  expanding universe can actually be reinterpreted as
the 'big bang' of a new one.    Presenting various standard and non-standard cosmological
models  discussing black holes in depth as well as taking in the role of the cosmic microwave
background along the way  Roger Penrose argues that the Big Bang was not actually the beginning
of everything - nor will it signal the end.   'Science needs more people like Penrose  willing
and able to point out the flaws in fashionable models from a position of authority  and to
signpost alternative roads to follow' Independent
