Though invisible to current direct detection methods, dark matter can explain a variety of astronomical observations. This book describes how this theory has developed over the past 75 years, and why it is now a central feature of extragalactic astronomy and cosmology. Current attempts to directly detect dark matter locally are discussed, together with the implications for particle physics. The author comments on the sociology of these developments, demonstrating how and why scientists work and interact. Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND), the leading alternative to this theory, is also presented. This fascinating overview will interest cosmologists, astronomers and particle physicists. Mathematics is kept to a minimum, so the book can be understood by non-specialists. 606 $aDark matter (Astronomy)$xHistory 615 0$aDark matter (Astronomy)$xHistory. 676 $a523.1/126 700 $aSanders$b Robert H.$0612252 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458422003321 996 $aThe dark matter problem$91998102 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03358nam 2200637 a 450 001 9911019216703321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a9786612347894 010 $a9781282347892 010 $a1282347896 010 $a9780470514597 010 $a0470514590 010 $a9780470514603 010 $a0470514604 035 $a(CKB)1000000000377213 035 $a(EBL)470481 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000291609 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11235847 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000291609 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10254750 035 $a(PQKB)11388713 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC470481 035 $a(OCoLC)181177963 035 $a(Perlego)2755501 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000377213 100 $a19940908d1995 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aCircadian clocks and their adjustment /$f[editors, Derek J.
