Lee Kang-hwan: In Search of the End of the Universe
The Discovery of the Accelerated Expansion of the Universe: *Searching for the Edge of the Universe*. This book fully captures the results produced after countless scientists shared their research findings, competed, and persistently observed following the discovery of the "accelerated expansion of the universe." It unravels the greatest mysteries since the birth of the universe, such as what shape our current universe is, what kind of universe we will inhabit in the future, what the Big Bang is, and what dark energy is. A drama unfolds, full of twists and turns, resulting from the competition and all-night observations between the "Supernova Cosmology Project Team" and the "High Redshift Supernova Search Team," who sought to uncover the secrets of the universe through the discovery of accelerated expansion. Based on rich data and storytelling, the book presents astronomy in an engaging way, providing concrete insights into science that students often perceive as abstract. It offers an opportunity to reflect not only on the future of the universe but also on how astronomers' research proceeds and what that process of inquiry means to us.
