Presents a new approach to the subject of cosmology. This book exploits Einstein's theory of general relativity. It contains a brief discussion of black holes and pulsars. It delves into philosophical considerations such as the different types of 'truth', positivism versus realism and a discussion of the role of the Mach principle in physics.

Highlighting foundational issues in theoretical physics, this work expresses the flow of ideas in physics - from the period of Galileo and Newton to the contemporary ideas of the quantum and relativity theories, astrophysics and cosmology - as explanations for the laws of matter.
