Over the past thirty years, scientists have learned that two little-understood components—dark matter and dark energy—comprise most of the known cosmos, explain the growth of all cosmic structure, and hold the key to the universe's fate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe story of how evidence for the so-called Lambda-Cold Dark Matter model of cosmology has been gathered by generations of scientists throughout the world is told here by one of the pioneers of the field, Jeremiah Ostriker, and his coauthor Simon Mitton. From humankind's early attempts to comprehend Earth's place in the solar system, to astronomers' exploration of the Milky Way galaxy and the realm of the nebulae beyond, to the detection of the primordial fluctuations of energy from which all subsequent structure developed, this book explains the physics and the history of how the current model of our universe arose and has passed every test hurled at it by the sceptics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout this rich story, an essential theme is emphasised: how three aspects of rational inquiry—the application of direct measurement and observation, the introduction of mathematical modelling, and the requirement that hypotheses should be testable and verifiable—guide scientific progress and underpin our modern cosmological paradigm. This monumental puzzle is far from complete, however, as scientists confront the mysteries of the ultimate causes of cosmic structure formation and the real nature and origin of dark matter and dark energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854575390956,"sku":"9780691258935","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/c8c099575bd72ea9e55d4f5559e2b8e6.jpg?v=1759268175"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/jeremiah-p-ostriker.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
