The First Three Minutes: A Modern View of the Origin of the Universe Audiobook

" Being a flighty little bird, this led me to the 'Poetic Edda' (add to Never Finished since I didnt have Wikipedia), then to the 'Ring des Nibelungen'. Good times. "

" One of the best for general consumption science books I have ever read. Weinberg performs masterfully at laying out the evidence for how universe evolved and why it must be so. "

" pop science account of the state of affairs in cosmology with regard to the early universe. this book spawned about 65 spinoffs by astrophysicists of various degrees of competence as everyone rushed to deliver "the last three minutes", "the next three minutes", etc, etc, etc. "

" It was probably a very good book when it came out, but it's desperately out of date. The edition I read was very proud of updating to include cosmic microwave background anisotropy. Pass on this one, it's not going to give you a good view of the field. "

" This is the book that turned me on to physics. Sure, it was Carl Sagan who turned me on to science and scientific thinking (skepticism), but Weinberg's "The First Three Minutes" made me realize that all of my most profound questions had answers in the field of physics. "

" I'm not a physicist but I thought this was a very useful introduction to the thinking in physics at the time. It's probably a bit dated now. I find it fairly clear reading and enjoyable. "

" This is a decent, if a bit dated, layman's introduction to the beginning of the universe. I'd recommend it for anyone who thinks physics is cool, but doesn't understand why we'd want to study the beginnings of the universe, or the building blocks of nature. "

" This book attempts to explain what happened in the first three minutes after the big bang... They think they understand what went on up to about that very very first 'mondoquadzillionth' of a second. Enjoyed the book, but only grasped about a second and a half. "

" Very dense and highly technical details of what happened in the first three minutes of origination of the Universe, alongside how were those details discovered. Fascinating yet not easy to understand at all. "

" a book for those who want to know more about big bang and universe. "

" An interesting book although sometimes hard to understand. It's interesting to see how views of the universe's beginning have changed since this book was published. "

" Interesting read, but very out of date even with the "updated" afterword. "

" Even though the author claims the subject is dumbed down, this book is difficult for the casual reader. "

" Read this to a blind friend and wasn't at all sure I'd like it, but I actually did ... quite a lot. "
