Descrição do livro
The question in these pages is what is the ‘dark sector’? What is ‘dark matter’? What is ‘dark energy’? Asking about the ‘dark sector’ forces one to look carefully at gigantic, over-the-top issues: the problem of light; the problem of causality; the problem of the visible world; Einstein’s special and general theories of relativity; his proposed ‘unified field theory’ –the ‘unification’ problem– attempting to see gravity and electromagnetism in common terms; the problem at the deep quantum level – the problem of the ultimate constituents of matter; the problem of the ‘primitive atom’ and its subsequent ‘Big Bang’ – the problem of the origin and fate of the cosmos; the ‘expansion’ of the universe and Λ – the Greek capital letter lambda – signifying the ‘cosmological constant’; the problem of time and the ‘block universe’ – in which the past, present and future are equally real; ultimately the problem of thinking about the universe itself and what philosophy can learn from wrestling with it.
