Alpha and Omega is a dispatch from the front lines of the cosmological revolution that is being waged at observatories and laboratories around the world-in Europe, in America, and even in Antarctica-where scientists are actually peering into both the cradle of the universe and its grave. Scientists-including galaxy hunters and microwave eavesdroppers, gravity theorists and atom smashers, all of whom are on the trail of dark matter, dark energy, and the growing inhabitants of the particle zoo-now know how the universe will end and are on the brink of understanding its beginning. Their findings will be among the greatest triumphs of science, even towering above the deciphering of the human genome.

This is the book you need to help understand the frequent front-page headlines heralding dramatic cosmological discoveries. It makes cutting-edge science both crystal clear and wonderfully exciting.]]> 2003 4 0 false Sun Jul 13 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 07 11:41:22 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 14 09:33:54 -0700 2008 36279748 1657449 64838 0142004464 9780142004463 5 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170624818m/64838.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170624818s/64838.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/64838.Alpha_and_Omega_The_Search_for_the_Beginning_and_End_of_the_Universe 3.77 62 Alpha & Omega, Charles Seife takes us to the front lines of the cosmological revolution to synthesize the discoveries of scientists at observatories and laboratories around the world who are actually peering into both the cradle of the universe and its grave.
