Download The Cosmic Cocktail: Three Parts Dark Matter AudioBook Free
The ordinary atoms that make up the known universe - from our bodies and mid-air we breathe to the planets and celebrities - constitute only 5 percent of most matter and energy in the cosmos. The rest is recognized as dark matter and dark energy, because their specific identities are unknown. The Cosmic Cocktail is the inside tale of the epic search to solve one of the very most compelling enigmas of modern knowledge - what's the universe made of? - advised by one of today's primary pioneers in the analysis of dark matter. Blending cutting-edge knowledge with her own behind-the-scenes insights as a leading researcher in the field, acclaimed theoretical physicist Katherine Freese recounts the search for dark matter, from the discoveries of visionary researchers like Fritz Zwicky - the Swiss astronomer who coined the term "dark matter" in 1933 - to the deluge of data today from underground laboratories, satellites in space, and the Large Hadron Collider. Theorists contend that dark matter consists of important allergens known as WIMPs, or weakly interacting considerable particles. Billions of them pass through our bodies every second without us even noticing it, yet their gravitational move is with the capacity of whirling celebrities and gas at breakneck speeds surrounding the centers of galaxies, and twisting light from distant bright things. Freese identifies the larger-than-life characters and clashing personalities behind the competition to recognize these elusive allergens. Many cosmologists believe that we are on the verge of dealing with the unknown. The Cosmic Cocktail supplies the foundation had a need to completely fathom this epochal instant in humankind's search to comprehend the universe.
