Extract
Those of us who were around a few decades ago, frequently became initiated into cosmology by a very clear and concise small book, written by Herman Bondi, entitled “Cosmology” (1952/1960). It is interesting to see the list of chapter headings:
Physics and Cosmology | |
The Cosmological Principle |
The background light of the sky | (Olbers' paradox) |
The problem of inertia | (Mach's principle) |
Observations of distant nebulae | (isotropy, m < 19, z < 0.2) |
Astrophysical and geophysical data | (ages, abundances) |
Microphysics and Cosmology | (large numbers) |
Newtonian Cosmology | |
Relativistic Cosmology | (Friedmann/Lemaitre models) |
Steady State Cosmology | |
Milne/Eddington/Dirac/Jordan. |
