Such regions exist in those remote parts of the universe where, from our point of view, space expands faster than the speed of light. They are found in black holes, where the gravity is strong enough to retain even light within its field of attraction. And in the realm of the very small, quarks must remain forever confined to their world of extreme density and can never be removed from it. The aim of this book is to describe these ultimate horizons, how they were discovered, how they shape our view of the world, and what clues we have about a world beyond them.The Frontiers Collection,2197-6619AstronomyElementary particles (Physics)Quantum field theoryKnowledge, Theory ofSciencePhilosophyAstronomy, Cosmology and Space SciencesElementary Particles, Quantum Field TheoryEpistemologyPhilosophy of ScienceAstronomy.Elementary particles (Physics).Quantum field theory.Knowledge, Theory of.SciencePhilosophy.Astronomy, Cosmology and Space Sciences.Elementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory.Epistemology.Philosophy of Science.530Satz Helmutauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut44891MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910739477003321Ultimate Horizons3553238UNINA
