Science writer Ananthaswamy sets out to explore the world’s most audacious physics experiments: the cutting-edge telescopes and detectors that promise to answer the biggest questions in modern cosmology. Why is the universe expanding at an ever faster rate? What is the nature of the ‘dark matter’ that makes up almost three-quarters of the universe? Why does the universe appear fine-tuned for life? And are there other universes besides our own?
