The concepts of dark matter and the cosmic web are some of the most
significant developments in cosmology in the past century. They
have decisively changed the classical cosmological paradigm, which
was first elaborated upon during the first half of the 20th century
but ran into serious problems in the second half. Today, they are
integral parts of modern cosmology, which explains everything from
the Big Bang to inflation to the large scale structure of the
Universe.Dark Matter and Cosmic Web Story describes the
contributions that led to a paradigm shift from the Eastern point
of view. It describes the problems with the classical view, the
attempts to solve them, the difficulties encountered by those
solutions, and the conferences where the merits of the new concepts
were debated. Amidst the science, the story of scientific work in a
small country occupied by the Soviet Union and the tumultuous
events that led to its breakup are detailed as well.This book is
accompanied by a website which contains additional material: copies
of the originals of some crucial papers, astronomical movies, and
movies which showcase the private life of the author.
