ASTRONOMERS UNIVERSE WEIRD UNIVERSE - DAVID A...

As new discoveries complicate the scientific picture of the universe  the evolving theories
about the nature of space and time and the origins and fate of the universe threaten to become
overwhelming. Enter David Seargent. Continuing the author's series of books popularizing
strange astronomy facts and knowledge  Weird Universe explains the bizarre  complicated terrain
of modern cosmology for lay readers. From exploring some of the strange consequences of the
theories of special and general relativity  to probing time dilation and the twin and
mother-and-baby paradoxes and the theory that the universe can be mathematically considered as
a hologram  all of the latest findings and conjectures are clearly described in non-technical
language. The development of quantum physics and the more recent developments of string and
M-theory are looked at  in addition to several hypotheses that have not won wide acceptance
from the scientific community  such as modified gravity. Enter the wonderfully weird world of
these theories and gain a new appreciation for the latest findings in cosmological research.
