The remnant cosmic microwave background, as beautifully measured by successive space missions COBE, WMAP, and now PLANCK, provides a unique probe of the very early stages of our Universe. The red-shift of atomic lines in distant galaxies, the dynamics of pulsars, the large scale structure of galaxies, and black holes are a few manifestations of the theory of General Relativity. Yet, today, we understand only 4% of the mass of our Universe, the rest being called dark energy and dark matter, both of unknown origin! A second family of space missions is currently emerging; rather than designing ever more re nedobservationalinstruments,physicistsandengineersseekalsotousethespaceenvironment to perform high-precision tests of the fundamental laws of physics. The technology required for such tests has become available only over the course of the last decades. Clocks of high accuracy are an example. They are based on advances in atomic and laser physics, such as cold atoms, enabling a new generation of highly s | | 出版日期 | Book 2010Latest edition | | 关键词 | Cosmology; Dark matter; Gravity; Relativity; Universe; astrophysics; checks of general relativity; constanc | | 版次 | 1 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4614-2604-2 | | issn_series | 1385-7525 | | copyright | Springer-Verlag New York 2010 |
