«El momento de la creación» is the popular science book by James S. Trefil, published by Salvat in 1986, in hardcover and in Spanish.
Physicist James S. Trefil explains the origin of the universe from the expansion of galaxies and the physics of the Big Bang. He reverses the direction of that recession to reconstruct the history of the cosmos and calculate the age of the universe, and discusses the search for residual particles, the problems of antimatter, the formation of galaxies, and the possible final fate of the universe.
The work belongs to the Salvat Scientific Library collection and translates the original The Moment of Creation, published in 1983; this Spanish edition is from 1986.
A work for readers interested in cosmology and physics who seek a popular explanation with little mathematics.
James Stanley Trefil is an American physicist and author of nearly fifty books. Much of his published work focuses on science for the general audience. He has served as Professor of Physics at the University of Virginia and, since 1988, as Robinson Professor of Physics at George Mason University. Among his books is Are We Unique?, an argument for human uniqueness in which he questions the comparisons between human intelligence and artificial intelligence. Trefil has also given presentations to judges and public officials about the intersections between science and the law.
