The creation of the elementary particles and the universe : 50 basic theories

"The Universe did not begin with a Big Bang; it began with a flicker." This is the first sentence of this book, and Israelsson and Vinterheden give a satisfying and reasonable answer to the ancient question of how everything came to be. The authors explore how particles and antiparticles are created in a cosmic vacuum. This is done with entirely new theories about the elementary particles and how they are created from nothing -- the foundation for the origin of the Universe from the void.
