According to the theory of Inflation, the early universe expanded exponentially fast for a fraction of a second after the Big Bang. The expansion of the universe during the inflationary epoch serves as a huge microscope that magnifies quantum fluctuations, corresponding to a scale less than 10 to the minus 28 centimeters, and then extrapolated to cosmological distances. This leaves imprints in the cosmic microwave background radiation and in the distribution of galaxies.
The paintings in the book correspond to the explanation of Inflation Cosmology and help to illustrate the concepts, including the original nano second explosion that is the basis of what is commonly referred to as The Big Bang. Furthermore, any singularity inside a black hole may also mirror what transpired when the universe initially inflated from its own singularity. The text and font style of this book pay homage to 15th century monastic bibles.
The first book printed in the western world from movable type on a printing press was by Johannes Gutenberg in Mainz, Germany, in an edition of about 180 copies; It is the St. Jerome Vulgate, in Latin, (also known as the Gutenberg Bible) 42 lines to the page; 1,282 printed pages (641 leaves) in two volumes: the Old Testament (O.T.) and New Testament (N.T.), unpaginated, Rubrication was by hand and the type was specifically designed to resemble a hand-written manuscript. Every era has its own specific technological epiphanies. Quantum physics will lead us all to the next frontier. MONDU
