 |
| Center for History of Physics, a Division of the American Institute of Physics |
If you are forever staring into space wondering about the beginnings of the universe then the Cosmic Journey will be a fascinating exploration. This website by the American Institute of Physics explores the history of cosmology in two ways: by ideas and by tools. Either path leads you through ideas, people, places, and items that have furthered our understanding of the universe and how we relate to it.
Whether you ascribe to the mechanical universe theory, the big bang theory, or the concept of a steady state, you will find plenty of fuel for thought within these pages. What are the latest and greatest tools being used? Check out the New Tools section for intriguing new mechanisms changing the way we perceive our universe.
