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. 410 0$aThe Frontiers Collection,$x2197-6619 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aElementary particles (Physics) 606 $aQuantum field theory 606 $aKnowledge, Theory of 606 $aScience$xPhilosophy 606 $aAstronomy, Cosmology and Space Sciences 606 $aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory 606 $aEpistemology 606 $aPhilosophy of Science 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 0$aElementary particles (Physics). 615 0$aQuantum field theory. 615 0$aKnowledge, Theory of. 615 0$aScience$xPhilosophy. 615 14$aAstronomy, Cosmology and Space Sciences. 615 24$aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory. 615 24$aEpistemology. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Science. 676 $a530 700 $aSatz$b Helmut$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$044891 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910739477003321 996 $aUltimate Horizons$93553238 997 $aUNINA
