The First Three Minutes
The First Three Minutes: A Modern View of the Origin of the Universe is a book by American physicist Steven Weinberg.Summary
Weinberg attempts to explain the early stages of the Universe after the Big Bang. Early on in the novel, Weinberg explores the origins and implications of the Hubble constant and addresses the evidence collected for the expansion of the Universe. He then tells the story behind the discovery of the Cosmic microwave background. After giving the reader a basis of understanding of astrophysics and particle physics, in chapter 5 of The First Three Minutes, as if setting the scene in a screenplay, Weinberg lays out the makeup of the Universe after its birth in a series of frozen frames.
