The Edge of Physics

 By Anil Ananthaswamy.

The author tours the sites of different large scale physics, cosmology and astronomy experiments-- the LHC, the telescopes on Hawaii, the Neutrino detectors in Russia, the antarctic and mines in the U.S. Along the way he discusses the history of the projects, the science behind them, and the major problems they are tacking in physics and cosmology-- What is dark matter? Dark energy? Do we live in a multiverse? How can we unify Relativity and Quantum Mechanics.
