Quintessence: The Mystery of Missing Mass in the Universe
Autor Lawrence M. Kraussen Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 dec 2000
Will
the
universe
continue
to
expand
forever,
reverse
its
expansion
and
begin
to
contract,
or
reach
a
delicately
poised
state
where
it
simply
persists
forever?
The
answer
depends
on
the
amount
and
properties
of
matter
in
the
universe,
and
that
has
given
rise
to
one
of
the
great
paradoxes
of
modern
cosmology:
there
is
too
little
visible
matter
to
account
for
the
behavior
we
can
see.
Over
ninety
percent
of
the
universe
consists
of
”missing
mass”
or
”dark
matter”
-
what
Lawrence
Krauss,
in
his
classic
book,
termed
”the
fifth
essence.”In
this
new
edition
of
The
Fifth
Essence,
retitledQuintessenceafter
the
now
widely
accepted
term
for
dark
matter,
Krauss
shows
how
the
dark
matter
problem
is
now
connected
with
two
of
the
hottest
areas
in
recent
cosmology:
the
fate
of
the
universe
and
the
”cosmological
constant.”
With
a
new
introduction,
epilogue,
and
chapter
updates,
Krauss
updates
his
classic
for
1999
and
shares
one
of
the
most
stunning
discoveries
of
recent
years:
an
anti-gravity
force
that
explains
recent
observations
of
a
permanently
expanding
universe.
