The inexplicable universe : unsolved mysteries

Hidenrick, Tony, (film producer.). Leven, Jon, (film director.). Tyson, Neil deGrasse, (speaker.).

Summary: "Everything we now know about the universe--from the behavior of quarks to the birth of entire galaxies--has stemmed from scientists who've been willing to ponder the unanswerable. And with the advent of modern science, great minds have turned to testing and experimentation rather than mere thought as a way of approaching and grappling with some of the universe's most pressing and vexing dilemmas. So what is our latest picture of some of the most inexplicable features of the universe? What still remains to be uncovered? What are some of the next avenues of exploration for today's chemists, physicists, biologists, and astronomers?"--Publisher.
