{"product_id":"shadowlands-robert-foot-9781581126457","title":"Shadowlands: Quest for Mirror Matter in the Universe","description":"Nearly 50 years ago it was discovered that the fundamental particles, such as the electron and proton, have  left-handed' interactions - they do not respect mirror symmetry. This experimental fact motivates the idea that a set of  mirror particles' exist. The left-handedness of the ordinary particles can then be balanced by the right-handedness of the mirror particles. In this way mirror reflection symmetry can exist but requires something profoundly new. It requires the existence of a completely new form of matter called  mirror matter'. Remarkably the mirror matter theory is capable of simply explaining a large number of contemporary puzzles in astrophysics and particle physics. The evidence ranges from observations suggesting that most of the matter in the Universe is invisible, to unexpected properties of ghostly particles called  neutrinos'. This book explains this fascinating theory and its evidence at a level accessible to the non-specialist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Foot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 158112645X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781581126457\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Universal Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.54h x 5.46w x 0.64d","brand":"Robert Foot","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445389701375,"sku":"9781581126457","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2073cae2-d3ff-4e81-b6e4-1420cb321ee1.jpg?v=1777218292","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shadowlands-robert-foot-9781581126457","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
