Description

This interesting book reviews WMAP’s main results (2003) and discusses in detail how the accurate qualitative results for the �age� of the universe and the Hubble constant were anticipated in an article published five years before in Acta Cosmologica, Krakow. In the final chapter on �Cosmic Numbers�, it is shown that, as a result of the coincidence at decoupling time between atom formation and matter/radiation equality, a reasonable cosmic justification for the mass ratio of protons and electrons is obtained. /remove –>Typham this is the title: Intelligible Universe, The: An Overview Of The Last Thirteen Billion Years (2nd Edition) 2nd Edition
