Galaxies, stars and planets – what we see of the universe makes up only 15 percent of the matter in the universe. Despite decades of research, the nature of the remaining 85 percent is unknown. We call it dark matter.
Scientists have developed huge instruments to search for dark matter, but so far it has eluded every experiment. Are these unknown particles, are mysterious forces at work in the universe, or does Einstein's theory of relativity need to be revised?
Govert Schilling embarks on an exciting search for clues, delving deep into the fascinating world of scientists. Will astronomers and physicists succeed in solving the mystery of dark matter?
The author Govert Schilling is one of the most internationally renowned science journalists. He writes regularly for magazines such as the world's leading astronomy magazine Sky & Telescope.
