The Cosmic Mystery Tour takes us on a lightning tour of the
mysteries of the universe enlivened by brief stories of the
colourful characters who created modern science. It explores hot
topics in physics and astronomy, including the recent discovery of
gravitational waves; the quest for the origin of dark matter; the
study of the supermassive black hole at the centre of the galaxy;
the ongoing search for Earth-like exoplanets; the search for
signals from extraterrestrials; and the development of technologies
to send spacecraft to the stars. The first part of the book
explores the laws that govern the universe. Physics is a spiritual
quest to find deep meaning in the cosmos. Its goal is to provide a
concise, but accurate description of the world that accounts for
all the amazing features that it contains. The second part takes a
look at the history of the cosmos, studies its geography and
explores some of its architectural highlights such as red giants,
white dwarfs, neutron stars and the ultimate cosmic
mysteries-supermassive black holes. The last part considers the
possibility that life might exist elsewhere in the universe, and
explores the cosmos from the outer fringes of science fiction to
the ongoing search for alien civilizations.
