String Cosmology: Modern String Theory Concepts from the Big Bang to Cosmic Structure
By Unknown Author.
Description
This relatively new field applies equations from string theory to solve the questions of early cosmology, since the standard picture of our universe emerging from a 'big bang' leaves many fundamental issues unanswered. String theory, on the other hand, postulates that fundamental ingredients of nature are not zero-dimensional point particles but tiny one-dimensional filaments.
