This book gives readers a quantitative understanding of important aspects of general relativistic cosmology starting with school math and Newtonian ideas in physics. The book is concerned mainly with various models that have been proposed to explain the large scale structure of the universe; The Friedmann models, steady state models and model universes involving pressure, Topics include special relativity, red-shift magnitude relations, radio source counts, Olber's paradox, horizons and cosmological coincidences. See photos. My picture taking ability makes the pages look darker than they are.

This text takes the reader on a journey which explores the limits of scientific knowledge, some of the gaps, and some of the discoveries yet to be made. The author, Peter Landsberg, discusses complex ideas to question the validity of the models used to define physical reality. He uses examples from everyday life to ask: what is energy, and why is the periodic table arranged in such a way? He examines theories of entropy, chaos, quantum theory and cosmology for completeness. Readers are then challenged to re-assess their beliefs in unarguable truths presented by mathematical theorems and the more philosophical issues of theology and happiness. Using careful reference to historical figures such as Mendeleev and Newton, thought-provoking illustrations, backed up by lucid narratives, this text aims to encourage the reader to reconsider scientific beliefs in a new light.
