Dark Matter Basics
ກ່ຽວກັບປຶ້ມ e-book ນີ້
The book investigates the evidence for its existence, primarily through observations like galaxy rotation curves, where galaxies rotate faster than expected based on visible matter alone.
It also examines how dark matter influences the cosmos' large-scale structure and evolution.
The book provides necessary background in Newtonian gravity and general relativity, setting the stage for in-depth discussions.
The book explores cosmological evidence from sources like the cosmic microwave background and gravitational lensing, alongside leading particle candidates such as WIMPs, axions, and sterile neutrinos.
It also assesses alternative theories like Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND).
The book uniquely bridges theoretical models with experimental searches, explaining techniques used in dark matter detection, including experiments at CERN.
It provides a comprehensive overview of the ongoing controversies, presenting different viewpoints to encourage informed conclusions.
The book's approach is designed to be accessible, avoiding jargon and offering clear definitions.
It progresses by first establishing the foundational knowledge, then exploring the evidence and theories, and finally analyzing alternative explanations.
This makes complex topics in science, physics, astrophysics, and cosmology understandable for students, enthusiasts, and anyone intrigued by the universe's enigmas.
