  Dark matter, a mysterious and invisible substance, remains one of the most profound puzzles in modern astrophysics. Despite being undetectable by conventional means, its presence is inferred through its gravitational effects on visible matter, radiation, and the large-scale structure of the universe. Comprising roughly 27% of the universe’s total mass-energy content, dark matter far outweighs the ordinary matter that makes up stars, planets, and galaxies. However, scientists have yet to identify its true nature. 
  The origins of the dark matter hypothesis trace back to the early 20th century when astronomers noticed an unusual phenomenon. The visible mass of galaxies and clusters of galaxies appeared insufficient to explain their observed gravitational behavior. In the 1930s, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky first coined the term “dark matter” while studying galaxy clusters. He realized that the galaxies within these clusters were moving too quickly for the amount of visible matter present, suggesting the existence of an unseen mass exerting a gravitational pull. Since then, dark matter has become an essential concept for understanding the dynamics of galaxies and the larger structure of the universe. 
  Over the decades, further evidence for dark matter has emerged, from the rotation curves of galaxies to the behavior of galaxy clusters. When astronomers measure how fast stars orbit the center of a galaxy, they find that stars on the outer edges move much faster than expected based on the mass visible in the galaxy. If only the observed matter were present, the stars would not have enough gravitational pull to remain bound to the galaxy. This discrepancy is explained by the presence of an unseen mass—dark matter—scattered throughout the galaxy. Additionally, observations of the cosmic microwave background radiation, which reflects the early universe, also point to dark matter's existence as a key player in the formation of the cosmos.

  A revolutionary new account of our universe’s creation—and a breathtaking exploration of the landscape from which we sprang—from one of the world’s most celebrated cosmologists 
  What came before the Big Bang, and what exists outside of the universe it created? Until recently, scientists could only guess at what lay past the edge of space-time. However, as pioneering theoretical physicist Laura Mersini-Houghton explains, new scientific tools are now giving us the ability to peer beyond the limits of our universe and to test our theories about what is there. And what we are finding is upending everything we thought we knew about the cosmos and our place in it. 
  Mersini-Houghton is no stranger to boundaries—or to pushing through them. As a child growing up in Communist Albania, she discovered a universe beyond her walled-off world through the study of math and science, and through music. As a female cosmologist in a male-dominated field, she transcended the limits that society and her profession tried to place on her. And as a trailblazing researcher, she helped to revolutionize the study of our universe by revealing that, far from living in a cosmic Albania, with a world that ends at its borders, we are part of a larger family of universes—a multiverse—that holds wonders we are only beginning to unlock. Mersini-Houghton’s groundbreaking research suggests that we sit in a quantum landscape whose peaks and valleys hide a multitude of other universes, and even hold the secret to the origins of existence itself. Recent evidence has revealed the signatures of such sibling universes in our own night sky, confirming Mersini-Houghton’s theoretical work and offering humbling evidence that our universe is just one member of an unending cosmic family. 
  The incredible scientific saga of one woman’s mind-expanding journey through the multiverse, Before the Big Bang will reshape our understanding of humanity’s place in the unfathomable vastness of the cosmos. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  Frozen Earth - Surviving a...

  I recently saw several predictions by well-known seers of the future that there will be a huge natural disaster in June/July of 2025. 
  Whether a disaster from a comet crashing into the Earth, a huge volcanic eruption or earthquake or a nuclear war; the likelihood of humanity suffering a period of global cooling is that it will happen—and has already happened in the past. 
  Disasters could actually cause global cooling for months or years. In trying to lookup any books on how to individuals and society should handle global cooling I couldn’t find anything. So I decided to write a manual dealing with this issue. 
  This manual has five parts: 
  Part One-Understanding the Threat 
  Part Two-Preparation and Prevention 
  Part Three-Surviving the Freeze 
  Part Four-Rebuilding in the ICE 
  Part Five-Looking Forward 
  Historical examples of how mankind dealt with global cooling in the past are included as well as lots of advice on how to recognize this process happening to our world, and how to deal with the consequences. 
  Survival for both individuals and society, and how to plan for the future. 
  I hope this situation never happens in our lifetimes but this book might be an aid to survival in those circumstances.
