Evidence for its existence comes from a wealth of astronomical observations. Theories and computer simulations of the evolution of the universe are also suggestive: they can be reconciled with astronomical measurements only if dark matter is a dominant component of nature. Physicists have devised huge, sensitive instruments to search for dark matter, which may be unlike anything else in the cosmos--some unknown elementary particle. Yet so far dark matter has escaped every experiment. Indeed, dark matter is so elusive that some scientists are beginning to suspect there might be something wrong with our theories about gravity or with the current paradigms of cosmology. Schilling interviews both believers and heretics and paints a colorful picture of the history and current status of dark matter research, with astronomers and physicists alike trying to make sense of theory and observation."-- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Adult New Books 523.1126 Sc in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 523.1126 Sc Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Keaau P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 523.1126 Sc Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 523.1126 Sc Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 523.1126 Sc Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 523.1126 Sc Checked out 07/05/2024 Add Copy to MyList
