«La creación del Universo» is George Gamow's popular science essay, published by RBA in hardcover (218 pages, in Spanish).
A popular science work addressing the modern cosmogonic narrative: an expanding universe born from a primordial explosion, the Big Bang theory. Gamow presents the astrophysical evidence supporting it and explains why physicists such as Stephen Hawking built on it to develop their own hypotheses.
It is number 1 in RBA's Biblioteca de Divulgación Científica collection, published in 1993, and includes illustrations.
A work suitable for a general audience interested in astronomy, cosmology and physics, with an accessible popular science approach.
George Gamow was a Soviet and American polymath, theoretical physicist and cosmologist. He was an early advocate and developer of Georges Lemaître's Big Bang theory. Gamow discovered a theoretical explanation of alpha decay by quantum tunneling, invented the liquid drop model, worked on radioactive decay, star formation, stellar nucleosynthesis, Big Bang nucleosynthesis, and predicted the existence of the cosmic microwave background radiation and molecular genetics.
