Today we are on the verge of discoveries that should soon reveal the deepest secrets of the universe. In "Alpha & Omega," Charles Seife takes us to the front lines of the cosmological revolution to synthesize the discoveries of scientists at observatories and laboratories around the world who are actually peering into both the cradle of the universe and its grave. The cast of characters includes galaxy hunters and microwave eavesdroppers, gravity theorists and atom smashers, all of whom are on the trail of dark matter, dark energy, and the growing inhabitants of the particle zoo. Seifeas lucid explanations of scientific theories and current research make cutting-edge science both crystal clear and wonderfully exciting.
