What is the Universe
Really Made Of
In recent years, scientists have discovered that 95 percent of the
contents of the cosmos is invisible to all current methods of
direct detection. Yet something is definitely there, governing the
shape and fate of our universe. These phenomena, called dark
matter and dark energy, are the most eagerly studied subjects in
astronomy and particle physics today. And for good reason—
What could be more exciting than cracking the mystery of the
fundamental components and composition of the universe?
Join the search in Dark Matter, Dark Energy: The Dark Side
of the Universe. This mind-expanding course of 24 lectures,
taught by expert theoretical physicist and award-winning
Professor Sean Carroll, explains the latest complex picture of the
universe in easy-to-follow terms. Embark on a fascinating voyage
of scientific discovery, from the insights of Albert Einstein to
the latest ground-breaking concepts in theoretical physics and
astronomy. You’ll quickly discover how this “dark side” of the
cosmos has brought us, for the first time in history, to the brink
of knowing what the universe is made of.
