A Universe that We Can Believe

Our story of creation begins with the evolution of life on earth, since our earth was formed 4.6 billion years ago. Next, the creation of our sun and other stars are described, along with their eventual death. Finally we explore the greatest mystery of all, the creation of our universe. 
 Most astronomers maintain that our universe exploded with a Big Bang about 15 billion years ago. Computer studies of the Einstein General theory of Relativity are the foundation for modern Big Bang research. These studies have predicted that our universe began as a "singularity", in which the density of matter was practically infinite. A noted authority has claimed that the present observable universe (30 billion light years in diameter) was "smaller than a dime" at the instant of the Big Bang. 
 Yet Einstein absolutely rejected "singularity" predictions derived from his theory. He insisted that, "singularities do not exist in physical reality". During Einstein's lifetime, the Big Bang theory used the concept of George Gamow, who postulated that the initial universe consisted of tightly packed neutrons, and weighed 300 million tons per cubic centimeter, which Gamow considered to be the greatest possible density of matter. With the Gamow postulate, the observable universe would have just fit within the orbit of Mars. It would have been 10 trillion times wider than is predicted by modern Big Bang theories. To add insight to this controversy, the book explains the Einstein theory in simple yet scientifically accurate terms that can be understood by the average reader. It also describes the gravitational theory of Huseyin Yilmaz, which has refined the Einstein theory and has eliminated its singularity predictions. When applied to cosmology, the Yilmaz theory predicts an infinitely old "Steady-State" universe, in which energy radiated from stars is converted into diffuse matter that compensates for the universe expansion.
