Humankind has grappled for millennia with the fundamental questions
of the origin and end of the universe--it was a focus of ancient
religions and myths and of the inquiries of Aristotle, Galileo,
Copernicus, Kepler, and Newton. Today we are at the brink of
discoveries that should soon reveal the deepest secrets of the
universe.
Alpha and Omega is a dispatch from the front lines of the
cosmological revolution that is being waged at observatories and
laboratories around the world-in Europe, in America, and even in
Antarctica--where scientists are actually peering into both the
cradle of the universe and its grave. Scientists--including 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-now know how the
universe will end and are on the brink of understanding its
beginning. Their findings will be among the greatest triumphs of
science, even towering above the deciphering of the human
genome.
This is the book you need to help understand the frequent
front-page headlines heralding dramatic cosmological discoveries.
It makes cutting-edge science both crystal clear and wonderfully
exciting.
