Cosmology’s journey to the present day has been a long one. This book outlines the latest research on modern cosmology and related topics from world-class experts. Through it, readers will learn how multi-disciplinary approaches and technologies are used to search the unknown and how we arrived at the knowledge used and assumptions made by cosmologists today. The book is organized into four parts, each exploring a theme that has troubled humankind for centuries. Since the dawn of time, looking at the sky, humans have tried to understand their origin, the laws governing it, and what influence it all has on human life. In most ancient civilizations, astronomers embodied the power of knowledge. This knowledge was not compartmentalized, and scientists often found philosophical implications within their quests, many of which destroyed the borders between the natural sciences. Even now, as observers and scientists continue to use conjecture to generate theoretical assumptions and laws that then have to be confirmed experimentally, said theoretical and experimental searches are being linked to philosophical thinking and artistic representation, as they were up until the 18th century. This multi-disciplinary book will appeal to anyone with an interest in the fields of Astronomy, Cosmology or Physics.

"La materia oscura es el gran enigma de la ciencia del siglo xxi. Si le preguntas a un físico: "¿Qué queda por descubrir, ahora que también se ha encontrado el bosón de Higgs?", casi seguro que responderá: "prácticamente todo". Sí, porque la materia ordinaria representa solo el 5 por ciento de nuestro universo. El resto consistiría en energía oscura y materia oscura, que representaría casi el 90 por ciento de la masa total. Por cada gramo de materia ordinaria, habría, en algún lugar a nuestro alrededor, 9 de materia oscura. Aun así, algunos científicos afirman que no existe. O más bien, que no hay necesidad de hipotetizar su existencia para explicar las anomalías que se observan en la rotación de las Galaxias. Quienes llegan a esta conclusión se atreven a desafiar uno de los pilares de la física moderna: la relatividad general de Einstein. Cristiano Galbiati, que enseña física en Princeton y coordina el experimento DarkSide en los laboratorios Gran Sasso, sabe que la materia oscura es uno de los secretos más misteriosos y fascinantes de la naturaleza, celosamente guardado y aún por descifrar. "Si es cierto que nuestra Galaxia está inmersa en un aura de materia oscura", dice Galbiati, "la Tierra en rotación alrededor del Sol, que a su vez gira alrededor del Centro Galáctico, debería ser golpeada por un viento de ""partículas oscuras"": aproximadamente 100 000 cruzarían una superficie igual a la de un clavo cada segundo. Entonces, ¿por qué no tratar de interceptarlos?"En la búsqueda de materia oscura, en una competencia cerrada, trabajan grupos de físicos, astrofísicos, cosmólogos, profesionales y aficionados, experimentales y teóricos, científicos y filósofos. Todos impulsados por la imparable ambición de contribuir a un paso fundamental en el desarrollo de la ciencia: comprender y definir la naturaleza de la materia oscura cambiará la percepción del universo en el que vivimos."
