Publisher's Synopsis
Peter Strassberg, M.D., is a passionate guy only one of whose books is about medicine-the rest have all been devoted to figuring out how larger bodies than ours, including the universe, behave, which means he's spent a lot of time thinking about mathematics and physics, especially astrophysics.
He's been intrigued by this enormous subject since long before his first volume, The Hunger for More, appeared in 2014, and he's devoted his spare time since to whether what has come to be called the "Big Bang" actually ever happened, or whether an entirely different process has been driving the universe all along.
Here, Dr. Strassberg considers what the Webb Telescope is likely to discover as its big eye reaches ever closer to the far edge of the universe. Many observers believe that, sooner or later, as we can see farther and farther back in time, they'll be able to spot evidence of the Big Bang. The author doesn't think so. For him, the whole theory was invented to explain the cosmic "Red Shift," leading to unavoidable tweaks-all based on a fundamental fallacy.
Instead, he offers a much simpler and more scientifically rigorous view of the cosmos. Read this book to find out, step by step, what that view consists of.
