Why is the universeâ€s expansion speeding up? What is ‘dark matterâ€? Are there other universes besides our own? This book follows the authorâ€s travels in search of experiments taking place in the planetâ€s most inhospitable locations to answer such cosmological questions. It explains not only the theory, aims and practicalities of each cutting-edge project but also the challenges facing researchers, whether they are working deep inside an abandoned iron mine or at the top of Hawaiiâ€s highest mountain.
