The Elephant in the Universe: Our Hundred-Year Search for Dark Matter 

byGovert Schilling

Govert Schilling's The Elephant in the Universe investigates the our hundred-year search for dark matter, grounding a large subject in the people and choices that shaped it. Using scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies, The Elephant in the Universe moves between close observation and a wider account of the systems surrounding its subject. By placing The Elephant in the Universe within science, the book reveals why its central tensions extend well beyond one person, place, or moment. The Elephant in the Universe emphasizes the specific circumstances that made this story possible and the consequences that followed.
