About this product

Product Information

Paul Davies' The Goldilocks Enigma- Why is the Universe Just Right for Life? gets to the heart of what makes the universe tick -- and what makes our place in it so special. It's not too hot, it's not too cold, and its forces act together in a way that's just right- why does the universe seem so perfectly tailor-made for life to exist? Paul Davies, one of the world's most acclaimed science writers, shows how everything from the humble carbon atom to the speed of light and the laws of physics themselves interact. He asks- is there a theory of everything within our grasp? If there was a big bang, what happened before it? Is there on universe or many? Could we exist within an endless time loop? 'This is popular science as home to the really big questions' Independent Books of the Year 'Beautifully judged' Guardian 'Britain's most eminent cosmologist ... Davies is effortlessly at home in the scale of the impossibly large, hundreds of billions of miles' Observer 'He leads the reader gently by the hand through the basics of what we are sure we understand about space, time and the universe' John Gribbin 'Paul Davies is undoubtedly one of the most important modern scientific authors ... his most significant contribution to date' Patrick Moore Paul Davies is Director of the BEYOND Center for Fundamental Concepts in Science, and co-Director of the Cosmology Initiative, both at Arizona State University. An internationally-acclaimed physicist, writer and broadcaster, Davies is the author of some twenty award-winning books, including The Eerie Silence- Searching for Ourselves in the Universe, The Goldilocks Enigma- Why is the Universe Just Right for Life? and The Mind of God- Science and the Search for Ultimate Meaning.

    Item arrived in perfect condition, well packaged and sealed up brand new. Amazing price compared to everywhere else I had looked. After waiting a few days for delivery info, the item arrived on the first day of the week they specified. This turned out to be a top quality item and a fantastic purchase, can only thank this seller for an outstanding experience and the opportunity to grab something I was struggling to find anywhere else and especially at the price they offered it. Cheers!

  • Excellent Introduction to Modern Physics

    This is a very well written and absorbing book. As a physicist myself, I found it excellent as an update on the numerous modern theories of the universe and of reality that are being proposed, albeit in the absence of experimental proof owing to the limited collision energies currently available, but also as a refresher on the more classical physics which has led to our current understanding of the universe. I can heartily recommend it.

  • Goldilocks Enigma - why does the universe seem to be fine tuned for animal and human life?

    This is a modern book about the origin of the universe and the meaning of animal and human life. It does not give all the answers but does ask many of the important questions that scientists and philosophers are grappling with in the 21st. century.

  • Fine tuning of the Universe

    As a non-scientist I found I needed to read-read some passages to understand the gist. It is well written and explains the subject well.
