The First Three Minutes
Seminal book. Seemingly comfortable book to read, it was instead very challenging and to the limit of my understanding given the implied maths knowledge
When I read it
Just after Prof. Weinberg sadly passed away. It was already in my shelf, and I could not postpone it anymore.
Why I picked it up
Simply because it is Weinberg and you can’t miss on his (although quite dated now) account of the origin of the Universe, if you are into that.
Interesting bits
Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation
Great account of that. Read like a novel.
Overview on the initial conditions of the Universe
Recipe for the Universe to be what it is
Quotes
Inspiration & Next
Keep studying Gino, this only the tip of the iceberg. We need 10000 of Weinbergs.
