Ma i segreti sono lungi dall'essere tutti svelati. La nostra conoscenza cosmologica, infatti, ha incontrato negli ultimi decenni un limite che per il momento non riusciamo a superare. Anzi due.

Nel volume i passi più importanti del lungo cammino scientifico dall'età moderna fino alle scoperte più recenti, riguardanti la gerarchia di strutture cosmiche, l'espansione dell'universo, lo stato iniziale ultracaldo e ultradenso, che oggi i cosmologi possono osservare direttamente grazie a sofisticati telescopi e strumenti spaziali.

Nearly 60 years ago, Nobel Prize winners Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson stumbled across a mysterious hiss of faint radio static that was interfering with their astronomical observations. In it, they had found the key to unravelling the story of the big bang and the origin of our universe. That signal was the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the earliest light in the universe, released 379,000 years after the big bang. This is the enthralling story of the quest to understand the CMB radiation and what it can tell us of the origins of time and space.
