There have been significant cosmological discoveries in recent years. The LIGO/Virgo collaboration has detected gravitational waves from the merger of around 100 pairs of black holes; the black holes in our galaxy and M87 were imaged for the first time by the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration; and studies using SN1a supernovae as standard candles led to the discovery of the ongoing acceleration of the expansion of the universe.Theorists have developed a model that accounts for the processes that have shaped our Universe throughout its 13.8 billion year existence.

There have been significant cosmological discoveries in recent years. The LIGO/Virgo collaboration has detected gravitational waves from the merger of around 100 pairs of black holes; the black holes in our galaxy and M87 were imaged for the first time by the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration; and studies using SN1a supernovae as standard candles led to the discovery of the ongoing acceleration of the expansion of the universe.
Theorists have developed a model that accounts for the processes that have shaped our Universe throughout its 13.8 billion year existence. The basis of this model is Einstein's general theory of relativity, which has transformed how we perceive space-time and its interplay with matter. This book examines the diverse, startling and paradoxical features of the Universe, and how they are explained.
This second edition presents a modern, compact and digestible account of modern cosmology and general relativity. With updated and expanded chapters, topics covered include equivalence principles, space-time curvature, Einstein's theory, tests of GR, black hole theory, gravitational waves, the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), the large-scale structure of the Universe, and quantum gravity. Each chapter contains a set of exercises to consolidate the material and other challenges for students. Fully worked solutions are provided, accessible only by instructors.
