  Cosmology's Dark Secrets -...

  The vastness of the universe has always stirred human curiosity, evoking questions that seem to stretch beyond the reach of science and into the realm of the unknown. As far back as ancient civilizations, people looked up at the night sky and wondered about the lights scattered across it. With the advancement of technology and scientific understanding, we have come to learn much about what lies beyond our atmosphere. Yet, despite all we know, there remains an overwhelming sense that we are only scratching the surface of a far deeper reality. 
  The observable universe refers to the portion of the cosmos we can detect through light and other forms of radiation. With telescopes, we can peer billions of light-years into space, essentially looking back in time to the early moments following the Big Bang. However, what we can observe is just a fraction of the entire cosmos. Beyond this visible boundary lies a realm shrouded in darkness, not because it is absent, but because it is inaccessible to our current instruments. This horizon, defined by the limits of the speed of light and the age of the universe, presents a fundamental boundary to what we can ever know. 
  Despite the sophistication of our tools, human perception is still tied to what light allows us to see. We rely heavily on electromagnetic radiation—visible light, radio waves, X-rays—to map and understand the structure of the cosmos. However, this reliance imposes a narrow filter on our understanding. There may be phenomena that exist completely outside the spectrum we can currently detect. The deeper we explore, the more we realize that the cosmos may be full of activity and matter that leave no trace in the form of light.

  Syukuro Manabe is perhaps the leading pioneer of modern climate modeling. Beyond Global Warming is his compelling firsthand account of how the scientific community came to understand the human causes of climate change, and how numerical models using the world's most powerful computers have been instrumental to these vital discoveries. 
   
   
   
  Joined by atmospheric scientist Anthony Broccoli, Manabe shows how climate models have been used as virtual laboratories for examining the complex planetary interactions of atmosphere, ocean, and land. Manabe and Broccoli use these studies as the basis for a broader discussion of human-induced global warming—and what the future may hold for a warming planet. They tell the stories of early trailblazers such as Svante Arrhenius, the legendary Swedish scientist who created the first climate model of Earth more than a century ago, and they provide rare insights into Manabe's own groundbreaking work over the past five decades. Expertly walking readers through key breakthroughs, they explain why increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide has caused temperatures to rise in the troposphere yet fall in the stratosphere, why the warming of the planet's surface differs by hemisphere, why drought is becoming more frequent in arid regions despite the global increase in precipitation, and much more.
