Where Did The Universe Come From? Geraint Lewis (#232)

Do you ever look up to the stars and wonder about what is out
there? Over the last few centuries, humans have successfully
unraveled much of the language of the universe, exploring and
defining formerly mysterious phenomena such as electricity,
magnetism, and matter through the beauty of mathematics. But some
secrets remain beyond our realm of understanding—and seemingly
beyond the very laws and theories we have relied on to make sense
of the universe we inhabit. It is clear that the quantum, the world
of atoms and electrons, is entwined with the cosmos, a universe of
trillions of stars and galaxies...but exactly how these two
extremes of human understanding interact remains a mystery. Where
Did the Universe Come From? And Other Cosmic Questions allows
readers to eavesdrop on a conversation between award-winning
physicists Chris Ferrie and Geraint F. Lewis as they examine the
universe through the two unifying and yet often contradictory
lenses of classical physics and quantum mechanics, tackling
questions such as: Where did the universe come from? Why do dying
stars rip themselves apart Do black holes last forever? What is
left for humans to discover? Geraint Lewis is a Welsh
astrophysicist, who is best known for his work on dark energy,
gravitational lensing and galactic cannibalism. Lewis is a
Professor of Astrophysics (Teaching and Research) at the Sydney
Institute for Astronomy, part of the University of Sydney's School
of Physics. He is head of the Gravitational Astrophysics Group. He
was previously the Associate Head for Research at the School of
Physics, and held an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship
between 2011 and 2015. Lewis won the 2016 Walter Boas Medal in
recognition of excellence in research in Physics. I In April 2020,
Geraint was elected as a Fellow of the Learned Society of Wales. He
is also an elected fellow of the Royal Society of New South Wales.
