Revue de presse :
Praise for The Invisible Century: Einstein, Freud, and the Search for Hidden Universes: "Mr. Panek’s presentation is masterly. He almost makes relativity common-sensical, a virtuoso feat....The Einstein section is brilliant: it is the finest nontechnical presentation of general relativity I have ever read....Strikingly lucid, easy to follow and successful." —The New York Times
"Dividing his attention between the two men and equally sympathetic toward both, Panek offers a lucid account of how each arrived at his conclusions. An enjoyable blend of theories and personalities, anecdotes and explanations, Invisible Century places these two pioneering geniuses in a context that helps clarify the nature of their achievements." —The Los Angeles Times Praise for Seeing and Believing: "A deft and beautiful book!" —Richard Preston "A gem of a book. Elegant, informative, provocative, and beautifully written." —Alan Lightman "Richard Panek keeps his eye on the target, and writes with clarity and panache—so that even those who have no aptitutde for science can enjoy his narrative skill and speculative mind." —Phillip Lopate "Allows us to see in a different light a history that was in front of our eyes all along." —Boston Globe

The epic, behind-the-scenes story of an astounding gap in our scientific knowledge of the cosmos.
In the past few years, a handful of scientists have been in a race to explain a disturbing aspect of our universe: only 4 percent of it consists of the matter that makes up you, me, our books, and every planet, star, and galaxy. The rest—96 percent of the universe—is completely unknown.
Richard Panek tells the dramatic story of how scientists reached this conclusion, and what they’re doing to find this "dark" matter and an even more bizarre substance called dark energy. Based on in-depth, on-site reporting and hundreds of interviews—with everyone from Berkeley’s feisty Saul Perlmutter and Johns Hopkins’s meticulous Adam Riess to the quietly revolutionary Vera Rubin—the book offers an intimate portrait of the bitter rivalries and fruitful collaborations, the eureka moments and blind alleys, that have fueled their search, redefined science, and reinvented the universe.
