Today my German popular science book “Von Tanzenden Galaxien, Dunkler Materie und anderen kosmischen Rätseln” (ISBN: 978-3-95972-788-4, Of Dancing Galaxies, Dark Matter and Other Cosmic Riddles) was published!
On 304 pages I write about astronomy, galaxies, and how astrophysicists deal with challenges to the dark matter model. In doing so, I cover everything from astronomical fundamentals and historical developments to our very latest research. From cosmological simulations, over alternative types of dark matter, to the modification of the laws of gravity.
It was important to me that the book does not require any special prior knowledge or even astronomy expertise, but is generally understandable. To this end, I have illustrated the content with many creative analogies.
The book has already been spotted in the first bookshops and can of course also be ordered online everywhere. I hope you enjoy reading it and look forward to hearing your impressions.
