A CONCEPTION OF THE UNIVERSE or EXPLORING THE UNIVERSE FROM WITHIN: "a thought experiment and essay"

Rate this book
Visualize and explore the wonders of our Universe. Black Holes, Dark Matter, Space-Time, Gravity, Light-Speed, Orbits, Photons, Dark Energy, Solar Systems, The Big Bang, Expansion, the shape of the Universe, and even the Multi-Verse! "The following is an intellectual exercise used in an attempt to formulate a larger perspective of the cosmos, applying evidence, logic, and imagination; to lay the ground on which one is able to construct hypothetical tentative chains of thought. Doing so, an individual has the opportunity to formulate diverse models of various subjects, including the very universe in which they "or we" are a part of; thus providing potential explanations and viewpoints to subjects that may otherwise be unattainable or at times even undefinable. Together we shall endeavor to visualize a handful of the universe's known laws. Then continue further by speculating likely or at least possible solutions to other issues that as of yet, we are currently only able to speculate. Provisional or temporary concepts we are willing to amend as updated data is acquired or learned." "Mysteries of the cosmos examined masterfully in this series of thought experiments and cosmological models. From black holes to gravity Vogt pushes the very boundaries of our current understanding of the universe with thought provoking visualizations and original ideas."

A truly fascinating view of Cosmology, using "in vitro" observations in a very elaborate & infinitely large lab. Lots of fun to read, but it helps to be rested & alert (I didn't get very far when I started it, between 16h shifts). My favorite part was the model of gravity as the gel of space-time, displaced & deformed by matter, pushing back to regain it's space, maximizing the mass centrally, by an inverse square law. Memorable closing thoughts, considering the many cosmogenic myths we still enjoy, ponders how very far we have progressed, as (Sagan-like) products of star-stuff.
Not a light read , but very engaging.
