Cairo: «The Gulf»
The book by Philip M. Dober and Richard A. Mueller, “The Three Big Bangs,” translated by Fathallah Al-Sheikh and Ahmed Al-Samahi, scientific topics that were throughout history limited to philosophers only, until scientists dared to delve into them, and these topics begin in the book with a reverse sequence of history, as the events that occurred at the beginning of the universe (regarding 15 billion years ago Sunnah) is the last episode of the book, preceded by an episode of a supernova explosion, as it came at the beginning of the book, which is the collision of a meteor or meteor with planet Earth and the annihilation of life species, including dinosaurs, 65 million years ago.
The book focuses on the physical origin of life on Earth, on three important, violent events. Almost everyone has heard of the first – the first Big Shock – but few have understood it: the creation of the universe as scientists today describe it in terms of the Big Bang Theory, and the second and lesser Big Shock Famous for they are supernovae, the catastrophic explosion of stars in which the chemical elements that make up our world and our bodies were formed, and the third great shock is the impact of a comet or asteroid on Earth, causing the annihilation of some species and the prosperity of others.
This terrible event occurred regarding 65 million years ago, and it completely wiped out the dinosaurs and caused the rapid extinction of mammalian species. It is likely that such shocks occurred a lot during the prehistoric period, and if that was the case, the collisions with extraterrestrial bodies must have been To be the main driving force of biological evolution, and perhaps as important as competition between species, and in July 1994 the impact that occurred between a comet and Jupiter and its amazing results reminded us of the tremendous power of planetary collisions, say the authors of the book.
The book begins with a reversed historical sequence, starting with the collisions on Jupiter and Earth, and ending with the terrible cosmic explosion itself. before stars formed.
The chapters of the book provide evidence of catastrophic shocks and their role in the evolution of life, and the pages of the book cover mainly supernova explosions, the terrible cosmic explosion, emphasizing their origins in Einstein’s theory of relativity and the visual evidence of this, and how knowledge in the field of supernovae helps scientists solve some of the most complex mysteries complex regarding the universe, and then review the main ideas of the book, and looks forward to discovering the future.
The authors of the book ask the reader to imagine a series of events of a degree of violence that dwarfs most of the brutal crimes committed by humanity, as well as the most terrifying natural disasters that occurred on Earth, even the smallest of these three shocks, which is the impact of meteors on the surface of the earth several million years ago, It has released destructive energy that exceeds the energy of the explosion of all the nuclear warheads that have been produced so far, if it happened and exploded in one moment. In fact, that destructive energy exceeds this nuclear holocaust several thousand times.
What the book would like to reach is for the reader to be convinced of these terrible events, because if he is convinced of them and understands them, then we will realize our origin. We learned during the study of biological evolution – as the authors of the book say – how species compete with each other violently in most cases until weak species become extinct. The concept of this biological evolution has been thrown into question by recent discoveries over the last decade. What’s more, scientists have just begun to understand our physical evolution.
