Description
Dark Matter: Theories on its Origin and Substance by Paul F. Kisak is a comprehensive overview of this enigmatic topic. According to the standard model of cosmology, dark matter accounts for 26.8% of the universe's mass-energy content, with ordinary matter making up just 4.9%. This book delves into the latest information on dark matter, drawing from international experts and current knowledge. Dark matter remains one of the greatest mysteries in modern astrophysics, as it has not been directly detected and does not emit or absorb light at any significant level. The Planck mission team's findings suggest that dark matter plus dark energy constitute 95.1% of the universe's total mass-energy content. This book provides a structured knowledge on the topic, making it an affordable reference for those seeking to familiarize themselves with this complex subject. With contributions from knowledgeable individuals, this edited collection offers an authoritative perspective on dark matter theories and their significance in understanding the universe.
