TitleCosmology and controversy: The historical development of two theories of the universe
Author(s)Helge Kragh
PublicationPrinceton, Princeton University Press, 1999.
Descriptionxiii, 500p.
Abstract NoteBook presents the development of scientific cosmology for the first time as a historical evernt, one that embroiled many scientists in a controversy over the very notion of an evolving universe with a beginning in time. Helge Kragh examines how th big-bank theroy drew inspiration from and eventually triumphed over rival views, mainly the steady-state theory and its concept of a stationary universe of infinite age. By exploring the similarites and tensions between the theories, Kragh provides the reader with indispensable background for understanding much of today's commentary about our universe.
