This author delves into cosmology and particle physics, specializing in areas such as dark matter, cosmic rays, and neutrino astrophysics. Their work explores the profound mysteries of the universe, investigating the unseen forces that shape its structure and evolution. Through rigorous scientific inquiry, they contribute to our fundamental understanding of the cosmos's composition and dynamics.
At the edge of time -- A world of time and space -- A world without a beginning? -- Glimpses of the big bang -- The universe and the accelerator -- The origins of everything -- Hearts of darkness -- A beacon in the dark? -- Radically rethinking dark matter -- A flash in time -- Endless worlds most beautiful -- Touching the edge of time.
Focusing on the intersection of cosmology, high-energy astrophysics, and particle physics, this book serves as a comprehensive resource for advanced students and researchers. It covers a wide array of topics, including general relativity, dark matter, and inflation, while remaining accessible to those without a strong background in particle physics. The modular format allows for flexible use, complemented by over 200 homework problems with solutions, making it suitable for both course use and self-study.
