Astrophysics and the Evolution of the Universe


From the start, this book makes clear that matter and energy aren’t always bound by Newton’s theory of gravity. It covers particle forces, quantum theory, and Hubble’s studies on electromagnetic waves in space. Then there’s the Doppler shift, the principal on how wavelength and frequency change depending on the direction of the source. Excellent diagrams are included as well, but some more case studies or examples of these theories and principals would be welcome. It goes into depth, thankfully, on the subject of dark matter and electromagnetic waves.
