Abstract Note | 'Masters of the Universe' is a different way of telling the story about how our modern picture of the universe came into being. From about 1910 to 1970 cosmology underwent a revolutionary change from a somewhat speculative theory of the classical, static universe to an observationally based science of the expanding universe starting in a big bang. The book tells the fascinating story of how modern cosmology developed, and it does so in an unusual format that blends factual and fictional elements |
