内容説明・目次

内容説明

"Origins" reveals the human being within the scientist in a study of the philosophical, personal, and social factors that enter into the scientific process. 27 active cosmologists - including Stephen Hawking, Roger Penrose, Steven Weinberg, Vera Rubin, Allan Sandage, Margaret Geller, and Alan Guth - talk candidly about their childhoods and early influences, their motivations, prejudices and worldviews. The book's introduction traces the explosion of new ideas that has recently shaken cosmological thinking. "Origins" explores not just the origin of the universe but also the origins of scientific thought.
