Produktbeschreibung

Meet the players in the most fundamental scientific revolution since Copernicus

The Facts of Matter

It is one of the most disturbing aspects of our universe: only four per cent of it consists of the matter that makes up every star, planet, and every book. The rest is completely unknown. Acclaimed science writer Richard Panek tells the story of the handful of scientists who have spent the past few decades on a quest to unlock the secrets of dark matter and the even stranger substance called dark energy. These are perhaps the greatest mysteries in science,and solving them will reshape our understanding of the universe and our place in it.
The stakes could not be higher. Panek's fast-paced narrative, filled with original, in-depth reporting and intimate, behind-the-scenes details, brings this epic story to life for the very first time.
