  The universe is a vast and enigmatic expanse, filled with countless mysteries that have intrigued scientists and philosophers for centuries. One of the most profound discoveries of modern cosmology is that the universe is not only expanding but doing so at an accelerating rate. This revelation has reshaped our understanding of the cosmos and introduced the concept of dark energy as a dominant force driving this acceleration. 
    
  In this book, we embark on a journey through the history of cosmological thought, from the early observations that hinted at an expanding universe to the groundbreaking discoveries that revealed its acceleration. We will explore the role of the cosmological constant, a term introduced by Einstein in his equations of General Relativity, which has come to be associated with dark energy. 
    
  We begin with a foundational understanding of the universe's expansion, delving into the Big Bang theory and the key observations that support it. From there, we examine the pivotal role of the cosmological constant and its implications for the structure and fate of the universe. 
    
  As we navigate through the complexities of dark energy and its various theoretical models, we will also address the challenges and alternative theories that scientists are exploring to explain this cosmic acceleration. Finally, we will consider the future of cosmological research, highlighting the ongoing quests to unravel the mysteries that still elude us.

  When the Ice is Gone - What a...

  In 2018, lumps of frozen soil, collected from the bottom of the world's first deep ice core and lost for decades, reappeared in Denmark. When geologist Paul Bierman and his team first melted a piece of this unique material, they were shocked to find perfectly preserved leaves, twigs, and moss. That observation led them to a startling discovery: Greenland's ice sheet had melted naturally before, about 400,000 years ago. 
   
   
   
  In When the Ice Is Gone, Bierman traces the story of this extraordinary finding, revealing how it radically changes our understanding of the Earth and its climate. A longtime researcher in Greenland, he begins with a brief history of the island, both human and geological. For the origins of ice coring, Bierman brings us to Camp Century, a US military base built inside Greenland's ice sheet, where engineers first drilled through mile-thick ice and into the frozen soil beneath. Decades later, a few feet of that long-frozen earth would reveal its secrets—ancient warmth and melted ice. 
   
   
   
  Changes in Greenland reverberate around the world, with ice melting high in the arctic affecting people everywhere. Bierman explores how losing Greenland's ice will catalyze devastating events if we don't change course and address climate change now.
