Cosmology's century : an inside history of our modern understanding of the Universe
Peebles, P. J. E. (Phillip James Edwin)2022
Books
Modern cosmology began a century ago with Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity and his notion of a homogenous, philosophically satisfying cosmos. 'Cosmology's Century' is the story of how generations of scientists built on these thoughts and many new measurements to arrive at a well-tested physical theory of the structure and evolution of our expanding universe.
