a guide to the unknown universe

原書名：這世界難捉摸「易讀又有趣，作者真的完整介紹了我們有限的知識，以及我們那汪洋大海般的未知。非常享受的閱讀之旅。」――《自然》期刊您知道嗎？我們對宇宙的了解只有百分之五！科學的發展是一連串的革命。以巨觀來看，我們從地平說、地心說、日心說，一路演變至宇宙大霹靂理論；以微觀來看，我們從分子、原子、電子，逐步發現到夸克、輕子等基本粒子。我們看似已經知道很多，明白世界的運作法則，但經過科學家努力再努力，才發現……其實我們什麼都不知道。我們仍然不知道暗物質和暗能量，也摸不清重力波和反物質，更別談理解時間與空間。您可千萬別沮喪，甚至該感到興奮。正因為我們所知甚少，代表還有許多東西可以發現。本書以幽默的口吻，將尖端科學家的知識化為易懂的漫畫，讓您驚喜連連，大呼：事情原來是這樣！

Gravitational lenses offer the best, and sometimes the only, means of tackling key problems in many fields of astrophysics and cosmology. According to Einstein's theory, the curvature of light-rays increases with mass; gravitational lenses can be used to map the distribution of mass in a Universe in which virtually all matter is dark matter of an unknown nature. Gravitational lensing has significantly improved our knowledge of many astrophysical phenomena, such as exoplanets, galaxies, active galactic nuclei, quasars, clusters, large-scale structure and the Universe itself. All these topics are covered fully in this book, together with two tutorials on lens and microlensing modelling. The future of lensing in relation to large surveys and the anticipated discoveries of thousands more gravitational lenses is also discussed, making this volume an ideal guide for postgraduate students and practising researchers in the use of gravitational lenses as a tool in their investigations.

Powerhouse creative team Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo (Batman: The Court of Owls, Dark Nights: Metal) conclude a decade-long partnership with the Caped Crusader in Batman: Last Knight on Earth. Twenty years in the future, Bruce Wayne wakes up in Arkham Asylum. Young. Sane. And...he's never been Batman. To piece together the mystery of his past, the Dark Knight embarks on a sprawling quest through this unknown world, meeting futuristic versions of former friends and enemies, including a grisly traveling companion--the Joker's head. Somehow still alive, Joker's decapitated head becomes Batman's ghoulish guide through the landscape of the devastated DC Universe. But to unravel the cause of this terrible future, he'll need to track down the unspeakable force that destroyed the world he once knew. This could be the last Batman story ever told...
