Synopsis
Evalyn Gates transports us to the edge of science to explore the tool that unlocks the secrets of dark matter and dark energy. Based on the theory of general relativity, gravitational lensing, or 'Einstein's Telescope', is enabling discoveries that are taking us towards the next revolution in scientific thinking--one that may change our understanding of where the Universe came from and where it is going.

Scientists now believe that over 95% of the known universe is made up of "dark matter" and "dark energy." Evalyn Gates documents the string of breakthroughs and discoveries that slowly transformed fantastic theories of this mystifying invisible ether into scientific fact, including a clear and concise analysis of Einstein's theory of relativity. She then discusses how futuristic technologies are aiding today's astronomers and physicists in their quest to capture these pseudo-substances, which may form the essence of everything.

Publisher's Note
Draws on cutting-edge findings in the field of astrophysics to augment Einstein's theories and define the unseen matter of the universe, in an account that attempts to explain why the universe appears to be expanding at an accelerating rate in spite of current understandings about gravity. 20,000 first printing.

Industry Reviews
"Gates's guide to this frontier, supplemented by beautiful astronomical photographs and instructive illustrations, will be as exciting as it is informative to her readers."
(12/01/2008)

"What stands out in Evalyn Gates's cogent review of this intriguing topic is the sheer cleverness astronomers have demonstrated in fashioning tools to study the unseeable."
