Hubble, Humason and the Big Bang

- The Race to Uncover the Expanding Universe

Bag om Hubble, Humason and the Big Bang

The story of Hubble and Humason is one for the agesΓÇöand in particular, the Cosmic Age. In this compelling book, science writer Ron Voller digs deep into how and why the two scientists continued to investigate their theory of universal expansion in the face of persistent doubt, contrary theories, and calamitous world events. The evolution of this dynamic duoΓÇÖs tenuous friendship and professional partnership is in many ways as intriguing as their groundbreaking work on the evolution of the universe. The book therefore traces their lives from their childhoods into their burgeoning careers, revealing how a World War and their own personal differences stood in the way of initial cooperation. It then shows how despite all this, the two opposites eventually came together in the pursuit of something far greater than themselves. This grand story is inextricably interwoven with that of Albert Einstein, Willem de Sitter, and other great physicists of the era, all of whom took part in the staggering quest to make sense of the Big Bang and what followed. ΓÇ£Edwin Hubble has often been considered as an island of sortsΓÇöa lone wolf of astronomy. But VollerΓÇÖs book shows otherwise, as he examines Milt HumasonΓÇÖs essential contributions to our understanding of the expanding universe.ΓÇ¥ - Daniel Lewis, Dibner Senior Curator, History of Science & Technology, The Huntington Library
