    Infinite Darkness - How Dark...

    Dark matter is one of the most intriguing mysteries in modern science. Despite making up approximately 27% of the universe, it cannot be seen or detected directly using traditional instruments. The name "dark matter" itself stems from the fact that it does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it invisible to the electromagnetic spectrum. However, its existence is inferred from its gravitational effects on visible matter, such as galaxies, stars, and other celestial objects. Without dark matter, the motion of galaxies would not make sense, as they appear to be moving far too quickly for the amount of visible matter they contain. This unseen substance holds galaxies together and ensures the stability of the universe’s large-scale structure. 
    The story of dark matter begins in the 1930s with the work of Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky. While studying the Coma galaxy cluster, Zwicky found that the visible matter in the galaxies was not enough to account for the way the galaxies were moving. He proposed that there must be some form of unseen mass providing additional gravitational pull, which he called "dark matter." Although his hypothesis was met with skepticism, it laid the foundation for further research into this invisible force. 
    Over the following decades, scientists gathered more indirect evidence supporting the existence of dark matter. In the 1970s, astronomer Vera Rubin and her colleague Kent Ford observed the rotation of galaxies and found that stars on the outer edges were moving much faster than expected. Based on the laws of physics and the visible mass, these stars should have been moving more slowly and would have been flung out of their orbits. The only explanation for their high speed was the presence of a significant amount of unseen mass—dark matter.

    For the first time, the story of how and why we have plumbed the mysteries of reading, and why it matters today. 
      
    Reading is perhaps the essential practice of modern civilization. For centuries, it has been seen as key to both personal fulfillment and social progress, and millions today depend on it to participate fully in our society. Yet, at its heart, reading is a surprisingly elusive practice. This book tells for the first time the story of how American scientists and others have sought to understand reading, and, by understanding it, to improve how people do it. 
     
    Starting around 1900, researchers—convinced of the urgent need to comprehend a practice central to industrial democracy—began to devise instruments and experiments to investigate what happened to people when they read. They traced how a good reader’s eyes moved across a page of printed characters, and they asked how their mind apprehended meanings as they did so. In schools across the country, millions of Americans learned to read through the application of this science of reading. At the same time, workers fanned out across the land to extend the science of reading into the social realm, mapping the very geography of information for the first time. Their pioneering efforts revealed that the nation’s most pressing problems were rooted in drastic informational inequities, between North and South, city and country, and white and Black—and they suggested ways to tackle those problems. 
     
    Today, much of how we experience our information society reflects the influence of these enterprises. This book explains both how the science of reading shaped our age and why, with so-called reading wars still plaguing schools across the nation, it remains bitterly contested.
