Chapter 1. Exploring the Earth and Sky -- Chapter 2. The Geography of Earth Beyond the Horizon -- Chapter 3. The Geography of the Skies -- Chapter 4. Early Telescopes and Models of the Universe -- Chapter 5. Early Maps and Models of Galaxies -- Chapter 6. The Discovery of the Big Bang -- Chapter 7. The Nature of Light -- chapter 8. Spacetime and Curved Space -- Chapter 9. Mapping Space to the Edge of the Observable Universe -- Chapter 10. Our Light Sphere and Horizon -- chapter 11. The Quantum World - Physics of the Very Small -- Chapter 12. Accelerators and Mapping the Particle Universe -- Chapter 13. The Higgs Boson and Models of the Early Universe -- Chapter 14. Exploring the Invisible Universe -- Chapter 15. Physics of the Vacuum and Multiverses.

Models of Time and Space from Astrophysics and World Cultures explores how our conceptions of time, space, and the physical universe have evolved across cultures throughout the centuries. Developed with a humanistic approach, this book blends historical sources, biographical profiles of exceptional scientists, and the latest discoveries in both astrophysics and particle physics. This rich read describes the incredible insights and ultimate limits of our knowledge, the physical universe, and how ideas old and new have converged, across the world, to build our current understanding of reality. From the Large Hadron Collider to the James Webb Space Telescope, we have mapped the universe from the smallest to largest scales; allowing us to gain fundamental knowledge that has transformed our understanding of the universe. The chapters herein will teach you about dark matter and dark energy, gravitational waves and other complex parts of the cosmos. Along the way, you will learn a thing or two about quantum mechanics, parallel universes, and the ultimate boundaries of the observable universe. This book cultivates insight from a variety of cultural traditions, including perspectives from both modern and ancient cultures, in order to show how our modern conceptions of space and time have arisen from the ongoing explorations within ancient world civilizations. It is a valuable, intriguing and insightful volume for those interested in the fields of historical astronomy and cultural astronomy, as well as for anyone interested in learning about the latest finds from the field of physics and astrophysics.
