Cosmology--the science that seeks to explain it--has always differed from other sciences, drawing on philosophy and even theology. These influences remain, even in today's data-driven cosmological models. This accessible and far-reaching book traces the development of cosmological thought from antiquity to the twenty-first century, with particular focus on the foundational work of Einstein, Hubble, and others in the early twentieth century. It explores how modern theories rest on a surprisingly fragile base and argues that many cosmic mysteries may remain permanently unsolved. Rich in historical and philosophical insight, this is a lucid guide to what we know--and perhaps cannot know--about the universe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Helge Kragh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 183639179X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781836391791\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/05\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Helge Kragh","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47931111407871,"sku":"9781836391791","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ef898f2e-8c73-45c0-a5e4-94c96dcb4eba.jpg?v=1766346525","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/universe-helge-kragh-9781836391791","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
