All the matter and light we can see in the universe makes up a trivial five per cent of everything. The rest is hidden. This could be the biggest puzzle that science has ever faced.

Since the 1970s, astronomers have been aware that galaxies have far too little matter in them to account for the way they spin around: they should fly apart, but something concealed holds them together.

That ’something' is dark matter - invisible material in five times the quantity of the familiar stuff of stars and planets. By the 1990s we also knew that the expansion of the universe was accelerating. Something, named dark energy, is pushing it to expand faster and faster.

Across the universe, this requires enough energy that the equivalent mass would be nearly 14 times greater than all the visible material in existence. Brian Clegg explains this major conundrum in modern science and looks at how scientists are beginning to find solutions to it.

A very fair overview of dark energy and dark matter told in a succinct but understandable way for a scientifically literate audience.

A great introduction to the fields of dark matter and dark energy

This is a very detailed and well explained walk through of the current landscape around the origins of the Universe and Dark Matter/Energy

Thorough Exploration of Dark Matter

Very interesting book filled with great information, however do not expect the secrets of dark matter or dark energy to be revealed. Humanity knows very little about dark matter or dark energy at this time, so I’m often skeptical when I see a book about these two topics. Most of the time the book revolves around a lot of speculation and the author will go off on tangents about what we already know and could possibly be associated with DM and DE. This is what happens in this book, but it’s always interesting to hear what and how different scientists are thinking about these subjects. Someday we’ll hopefully know what is truly out there in the universe but for now this subject and its investigation are fascinating.

Highly recommended

Not bad

Excellent narration. Well, it gets tricky when it is theoretical and when people diversify the compensations, it gets opaque.

Trying to understand the opaque

I’m glad this was a shorter book with good information to absorb quickly. Plus the stories of the history behind the topic of dark matter were fun and told with a side of humor. The matter of fact narrator added to this aspect of the book.

Quick Intro to the Subject and Fun

Dense material presented in a way that is interesting & compelling! I’m going to re-listen to really absorb the content.

Worth a Re-listen

This is a concise, clear, approachable and current summary of the title subject matter. Zero frills but still engaging; provides comprehensive history and appropriate boundaries to what we ‘know.’ Precisely what I would hope for.

Excellent review of current understanding

I study astrophysics and do astrophotography so I know about a lot of this stuff , but this Audiobook actually taught me some stuff I didn’t know and comes across in a friendly non patronizing way .
My only gripe is that with an audio book the delivery is so massively important and wrongly pronounced words and terms are really jarring to the ear .
It speaks of either lack of research or average delivery . I’m not sure if the reader is a scientist or just a voice actor . But hearing “ Nuculer” for Nuclear , ManGENELIC instead or Magellanic and at least 3 ways or pronouncing Cepheid does take away from the immersive experience

Great info with dubious pronunciations

This is really interesting and gives a good view on what is believed about our universe

Very interesting

The book is an honest attempt to present is known and what is unknown. Many books on contemporary physics present the authors point of view , followed by intense lobbying for that point of view.
This book simply presents the most contemporary theories. It asks the reader to decide for themselves.

thought provoking .
