Matter, Dark Matter, and Anti-Matter: In Search of the Hidden Universe (Springer Praxis Books) by Alain Mazure (PDF)

Description

For over ten years, the dark side of the universe has been headline news. Detailed studies of the rotation of spiral galaxies, and ‘mirages’ created by clusters of galaxies bending the light from very remote objects, have convinced astronomers of the presence of large quantities of dark (unseen) matter in the cosmos. The most striking fact is that they seem to compromise about 95% of the matter/energy content of the universe. As for ordinary matter, although we are immersed in a sea of dark particles, including primordial neutrinos and photons from fossil cosmological radiation, both we and our environment are made of ordinary, ‘baryonic’ matter. Authors Mazure and Le Brun present the inventory of matter, baryonic and exotic, and investigating the nature and fate of matter’s twin, anti-matter. They show how technological progress has been a result of basic research, in tandem with the evolution of new ideas, and how the combined effect of these advances might help lift the cosmic veil.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Fascinating, makes one think

⭐Really good summary of the research and the evidence. If you’re going to read one book on the topic as an overview… I’d recommend this.

⭐Ausgehend von historischen Anfängen wird ein Bogen bis zu den neuesten Erkenntnissen gespannt. Es laufen mehrere Stränge unterschiedlicher physikalische Aspekte parallel, die immer wieder in den neuesten Ergebnissen enden.Mit Vergnügen erfährt man wie die neuen experimentellen Möglichkeiten funktionieren und eingesetzt werden. Es ist ein tolles Buch um einen Einblick in den gegenwärtigen Stand der Forschung zu erhalten – was ich für die Aufgabenstellung des Buches halte. Vorbildung auf dem Gebiet der Astronomie und der Physik ist empfehlenswert.
