Paths to Dark Energy : : Theory and Observation /

Paths to Dark Energy : : Theory and Observation / / Gene Byrd, Arthur D. Chernin, Pekka Teerikorpi, Mauri Valtonen.

This work provides the current theory and observations behind the cosmological phenomenon of dark energy. The approach is comprehensive with rigorous mathematical theory and relevant astronomical observations discussed in context. The book treats the background and history starting with the new-foun...
