An accessible look at the mysteries that lurk at the edge of the
known universe and beyond
The observable universe, the part we can see with telescopes, is
incredibly vast. Yet recent theories suggest that there is far more
to the universe than what our instruments record--in fact, it could
be infinite. Colossal flows of galaxies, large empty regions called
voids, and other unexplained phenomena offer clues that our own
""bubble universe"" could be part of a greater realm called the
multiverse. How big is the observable universe? What it is made of?
What lies beyond it? Was there a time before the Big Bang? Could
space have unseen dimensions? In this book, physicist and science
writer Paul Halpern explains what we know--and what we hope to soon
find out--about our extraordinary cosmos.Explains what we know
about the Big Bang, the accelerating universe, dark energy, dark
flow, and dark matter to examine some of the theories about the
content of the universe and why its edge is getting farther away
from us fasterExplores the idea that the observable universe could
be a hologram and that everything that happens within it might be
written on its edgeWritten by physicist and popular science writer
Paul Halpern, whose other books include "Collider: The Search for
the World's Smallest Particles," and "What's Science Ever Done For
Us: What the Simpsons Can Teach Us About Physics, Robots, Life, and
the Universe"
