One Big Bang Many Other Bangs
ISBN: 9781514151440 / Angielski / Miękka / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The understanding of this single, simple object, "the circle," has fueled the expansion of our understanding of mathematics. It has brought us from circle, to disc, to sphere. It has brought us from geometry, to trigonometry, to geodesic-trigonometry. It has demonstrated that the only way that we can comprehend space is to fill the space with mathematics. It has also demonstrated that it is an ongoing process. The basis of this theory is exactly that. It is that the existence of three-dimensional matter is an ongoing process. The math is still filling the space.

On January 19, 2006, the first spacecraft mission to explore the Kuiper belt, New Horizons, was launched. The mission, headed by Alan Stern of the Southwest Research Institute, flew by Pluto on July 14 2015. Having completed its flyby of Pluto, New Horizons has maneuvered for a flyby of Kuiper belt object 2014 MU.
