Description
Advances made by physicists in understanding matter, space, and time and by astronomers in understanding the universe as a whole have closely intertwined the question being asked about the universe at its two extremes the very large and the very small. This report identifies 11 key questions that have a good chance to be answered in the next decade. It urges that a new research strategy be created that brings to bear the techniques of both astronomy and sub-atomic physics in a cross-disciplinary way to address these questions. The report presents seven recommendations to facilitate the necessary research and development coordination. These recommendations identify key priorities for future scientific projects critical for realizing these scientific opportunities.
Reviews
"The book reflects an admirable feature of the organization of big science in the United States. ... Given its collective authorship, one would expect this book to be authoritative, and it is, but it is also attractively readable. That such an excellent book can come from a committee testifies to the intellectual thoroughness with which US priorities in big science are optimized."
-- Nature, September 2003
