In The Dancing Universe, he traces mystical, philosophical, and scientific ideas about the cosmos through the past twenty-five centuries, from the ancient creation myths of numerous cultures to contemporary theories about an ever-expanding universe. He also explores the lives and ideas of history's greatest scientists, including Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, Newton, and Einstein. By exploring how scientists have unlocked the secrets of gravity, matter, time, and space, Gleiser offers fresh perspective on the debate between science and faith. 410 0$aUnderstanding science and technology series. 606 $aCosmology 606 $aAstronomy 615 0$aCosmology. 615 0$aAstronomy. 676 $a215 676 $a523.1 700 $aGleiser$b Marcelo$01627737 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812275503321 996 $aThe dancing universe$93964472 997 $aUNINA
