Ya. B. Zeldovich

My Universe (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In this fascinating book, the reader is offered a selection of papers summarizing the unique contribution to modern cosmology of the Soviet school, led by the late Ya.B. Zeldovich. The first three articles in this selection introduce the general reader to the underlying theories of cosmology: the birth and expansion of the universe, matter and antimatter. The remaining five contributions are review papers offering the more advanced reader a deeper understanding of the structure of the universe, cosmological field theory, microwave background radiation and galactic distribution. This balance of introductory and advanced papers makes My Universe a work of value for graduate students entering the field, for research workers expanding their knowledge, and for the layman seeking an insight into one of the most important subjects of the twentieth century.

Autorenporträt

In December 1987 the scientific community heard of the sad death of Yakov Borisovich, one of the most eminent physicist-universalists of the century. During his long life Professor Zeldovich made fundamental contributions to chemical, nuclear and elementary particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. A vivacious and humorous man, he also enjoyed writing comic essays, plays and poems. While he began his career at the Moscow Institute of Chemical Physics, it was his work at the Sternberg Astronomical Institute in the 1960s that subsequently won him worldwide recognition.
