Gravitation and Cosmology: From the Hubble Radius to the Planck Scale

The Hubble radius to the Planck scale is the precise scope of 55 contributions to a symposium held at UC Berkeley in honour of J-P. Vigier's (Nobel Laureate Louis de Broglie's principal associate) 80th birthday. The volume contains chapters by physicists and astrophysicists, which contrast both mainstream conservative approaches and leading-edge extended models of fundamental issues in physical theory and observation.
