    Pattern. To Provide clarity of the subject, the whole text is studded with The Jargon, Key point, Watch out and Self-test Question Window to Formula forms a new feature of the present revised edition. It contains a direct and simple formula based Numerical Problem, which will tell the students as to how the formula derived in an article is to be used to solve the problem. The article work in each chapter of unit is coupled with well graded and carefully selected Solved Numerical Problems. These Solved Numerical Problems have been categorized into two Parts. I from Board Examinations and II from Competitive Engineering Examinations, such as I.I.T., Roorkee and I.S.M., Dhanbad. Many such problems have been provided with solutions by adopting a novel technique in the form of Thought Process.

    Roger Penrose—one of the most innovative mathematicians of our time—turns around this predominant picture of the universe’s “heat death,” arguing how the expected ultimate fate of our accelerating, expanding universe can actually be reinterpreted as the “Big Bang” of a new one.Along the way to this remarkable cosmological picture, Penrose sheds new light on basic principles that underlie the behavior of our universe, describing various standard and nonstandard cosmological models, the fundamental role of the cosmic microwave background, and the key status of black holes. Ideal for both the amateur astronomer and the advanced physicist—with plenty of exciting insights for each—Cycles of Time is certain to provoke and challenge.Intellectually thrilling and accessible, this is another essential guide to the universe from one of our preeminent thinkers.
