The Elephant in the Universe. 100 Years in Search of Dark Matter
Dark matter is not a multitude of dim stars or an all-pervasive dark intergalactic gas; it does not consist of black holes and ordinary atoms, but like an invisible glue, it binds the Universe together and serves as its driving force.
"The Elephant in the Universe" is a gripping thriller that tells how scientists—both leading researchers and rebels against science—have fought over dark matter and tried to detect it. Goverd Schilling explains complex astrophysical theories such as ΛCDM and MOND in an accessible way, analyzes WIMP and MACHO—candidates for dark matter—and discusses the latest technologies and experiments that are moving us towards understanding what this mysterious substance actually is.
