[edit] Runaway Universe

The race to find the future of the cosmos.

The story of rival groups of brilliant astronomers seeking two mysterious numbers that will reveal the future of the universe; For decades, astronomers have sought to discover the ultimate fate of the universe. Will the cosmos continue forever in its expansion, which began billions of years ago with the big bang? Or will gravity someday reverse the process, producing a 'big crunch'? Two groups of astronomers have recently announced a discovery that seems to resolve the issue but that also shakes the science of cosmology to its very foundation: the expansion of the universe appears to be accelerating. The Runaway Universe is the story of these astronomers who have stood the world of cosmology on its ear-and of their competitive race to discover the future of the universe. A vivid picture of an unexpected turn of events, the book presents the startling new discovery that is revolutionizing our view of the cosmos.
