Book Review for Physics Today Ostriker and Mitton

[摘要] Can anyone explain to a general audience how astronomers converged on such an astonishing story as the Big Bang, with large doses of Dark Matter and Dark Energy that only astronomers can see and most astronomers didnt want? Might the reader believe the answer? And can the story keep the attention of professional physicists? The answer is yes for Unraveling the Mysteries of the Invisible Universe by Jeremiah Ostriker and Simon Mitton (Princeton University Press, 2013). Ostriker, a theorist, is one of the modern pioneers of the subject, and Mitton, a physicist-journalist, is an excellent storyteller as well.
