Patterns in the Void: Why Nothing is Important by Sten Odenwald (1-Sep-2002) Hardcover

by Sten F. Odenwald

Explores the fascinating story of how the concepts of empty space, vacuum and the void reveal an incomprehensibly alien landscape in which all of existence is imbedded. Patterns in the Void examines the great dark matter and dark regions that pervade the universe, from elementary particles to the immense areas of "vacuum" that make up most of deep space, and everything that is - or is not. Like the void itself, the book ranges in temporal and spatial scales - from our human world, down to the molecular and sub-atomic world, and up into the farthest reaches of the expanding universe. Complementing such recent books as K.C. Cole's The Hole in the Universe and Lawrence Krauss' Quintessence, Patterns in the Void weaves the human element into understanding this modern science, telling stories of ancient sacrifices, paranormal experiences, purported alien abductions, and more - all part of the human dilemma to make sense about the vast unknown.
