Physics of the Universe's First Seconds
Dan Hooper, senior scientist and head of the Theoretical Astrophysics Group at Fermilab and a professor at the University of Chicago, explores what happened in the earliest moments after the Big Bang.
The book covers subjects such as the Large Hadron Collider's efforts to recreate early universe conditions, the imbalance between matter and antimatter, the formation of dark matter and the theory of cosmic inflation, while being honest about how much remains unknown.
Written for curious general readers rather than specialists, it suits anyone keen to understand modern cosmology without needing a physics degree.
