Description
Picking up where Stephen Hawking left off in "A Brief History of Time", this book reveals what recent discoveries tell us about the origins and fate of the Universe. The authors explain clearly and simply why most of the Universe is invisible and describe the dramatic efforts to determine what dark matter might be. This book should be of interest to general readers and students (from undergraduate level upwards) and teachers of astronomy, cosmology, astrophysics, and particle physics.
