    About this ebook

    Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs by Lisa Randall | Summary and Analysis Book Preview:
    The interrelationships of every part of existence fascinates so many people, and Lisa Randal has used her skill as a cosmologist and physicist to bring some of those interconnections to life. She’s concerned with the big ideas about the nature of the universe itself. “Dark Matter and Dinosaurs” takes two different concepts and ties them together by an exacting examination of the origin and structure of the universe, from a quantum level to galactic. Dinosaurs, solidly established in the history of the Earth, and dark matter, one of Einstein’s remaining knots, turn out to have more than a few connecting threads.

    Summary Station

    Many great books are released every year and most avid readers know that they may never have time to read all of the books on their list. In today’s world, many people do not get as much time to read as they would like, so it is important to use any reading time wisely. The problem with this is that it can be very difficult to know if a book is worth reading until you have already invested some time into reading it. This is one of the many reasons that Summary Station was created. The staff at Summary Station wants to provide readers with a way to get a good idea of a book before they invest their time and money into reading it. We make sure to provide you with as much information about a book as we possibly can. With Summary Station you can be assured that you will not only get a quality summary of a featured book, but you will also receive valuable information and analysis. The themes and characters are discussed in each summary as well as a brief review of the featured book. Even if you know you are going to definitely read a book, it will give you a big advantage in understanding the book if you explore one of our excellent summaries first.

      Even Physicists Find the Multiverse Faintly Disturbing: It’s not the immensity or inscrutability, but that it reduces physical law to happenstance.

      Actually, There Is a Time Like the Present

      Nov 30, 2017

      Chapter One

      One of the primary assertions of modern physics, indeed, of all science is that all things are, at some level, interconnected. By understanding one set of interactions and linkages, people can more easily understand quite complex relationships. The overarching example used in the book is dark matter. Dark matter exists throughout
