Excellent- More about The Cosmic Spacetime
The growth of cosmology into a precision science is the most remarkable story of the past century, but this book focuses on the cosmic spacetime itself. It reveals an emerging link between the Universe we behold and the established tenets of our most fundamental physical theories, and provides a physical explanation for some of the most unpalatable coincidences in cosmology. It also reveals a possible explanation for the origin of rest-mass energy in Einstein's theory.
Format: Paperback / softback

Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd
The remarkable expansion of cosmology into a precision discipline stands as one of the most awe-inspiring chapters of the past century. While numerous accounts have been penned to chronicle this evolution, a notable absence has been the dedicated attention given to the fundamental essence of this endeavor—the cosmic spacetime itself. This book aims to rectify this gap, presenting a comprehensive exploration of the mounting evidence that urges us to embrace the renowned solution to Einstein's equations not merely to refine our current understanding but also to delve into its very foundations. Through its journey, spanning from the tiniest to the largest conceivable scales, it unveils a captivating connection between the observable Universe and the established principles of our most fundamental physical theories.
Key Features:
• Uncovers the vital relationship between the Local Flatness Theorem in general relativity and the symmetries governing the spacetime metric coefficients.
• Develops a physical explanation for several perplexing coincidences in cosmology.
• Offers a balanced evaluation of the horizon problems hindering our complete comprehension of the early Universe.
• Reveals a plausible explanation for the origin of rest-mass energy in Einstein's theory.
• Despite its technical presentation, this book remains accessible to individuals with a solid foundation in physics and astronomy.
