Cycles of Time

Производитель: "Неизвестный"

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. Original and compelling, Cycles of Time offers new answers to the ultimate questions of life. ISBN:9780099505945

Penrose, Roger

   b. 1931, Colchester
   Mathematician
   Roger Penrose is a mathematician with radical views about the relationship between quantum physics and consciousness. He, like Dawkins and Hawking, has been able to interest and influence a wide audience through his lucid and compelling style. In his widely read books, The Emperor’s New Mind and Shadows of the Mind, he examines consciousness and the human mind from the perspective of the laws of physics and binary computers, and concludes that classical computers lack some fundamental aspect of function found in human and other animal brains. His views are contentious amongst the artificial intelligence (AI) community, whose major paradigm is that increasing complexity of computers can or will lead to consciousness.
