'An incredible tour of our universe's greatest mysteries' Professor
Dan Hooper This cutting-edge book investigates the extraordinary
potential of multimessenger astronomy to revolutionise our
understanding of the universe The spectacular advances of modern
astronomy have opened our horizon on an unexpected cosmos: a dark,
mysterious universe, populated by enigmatic entities we know very
little about, like black holes, or nothing at all, like dark matter
and dark energy. This book discusses the extraordinary potential of
a new discipline dubbed 'multimessenger astronomy', combining the
traditional approach based on the observation of light from
celestial objects, with a new method based on other 'messengers' -
such as gravitational waves, neutrinos, and cosmic rays - that
carry information from otherwise inaccessible corners of the
universe. Interweaving the discussion of multimessenger astronomy
with an exploration of the surprising connections between the study
of the universe on the largest scales, and the physics of the
infinitely small, this text provides an accessible and fascinating
introduction to cutting-edge findings in recent cosmology which
could soon revolutionize our understanding of the universe.
