The 4-Percent Universe: Dark Matter, Dark Energy, and the Race to Discover the Rest of Reality
Author(s): Richard Panek
Meet the players in the most fundamental scientific revolution since Copernicus. Only 4% of the universe consists of the matter that makes up you, me, every star, every and planet. Over the past few decades, a handful of scientists have been battling to understand the rest: the strange âdark matterâ and even stranger âdark energyâ. In exhilarating detail, Panek takes us on an intimate tour of the epic rivalries, the eureka moments, the blind alleys, and the great mysteries that are redefining science and reinventing the universe.
