世界顶尖天文学家之一 Robert Kirshner 带领读者走进一个充满活力的研究团队，回顾引导他们取得非凡宇宙学发现的探索之旅：宇宙正在使空间本身膨胀的 dark energy 影响下加速膨胀。除了分享这一激动人心发现背后的故事，Kirshner 还在新增的结语中介绍了最新科学进展。他解释了加速膨胀的宇宙这一概念——曾经只是对粗略数据的大胆解读——如今如何成为现代宇宙学的标准假设。这一对 dark energy 的测量——

罗伯特·科什纳（Robert Kirshner）在哈佛曾是施密特和里斯两人的导师，也是高红移超新星搜索队（High-Z Search Team）的核心成员。如果你对这个课题感兴趣，他的书《The Extravagant Universe》非常值得一读。http://www.amazon.com/dp/069111742X/?tag=googhydr-20&hva... 当时很多人都以为科什纳本人会因该领域的成果拿到诺贝尔奖，而且……
Robert Kirshner advised both Schmidt and Riess at Harvard and was an integral member of the High-Z Search Team. His book The Extravagant Universe is worth reading if you are interested in the topic. http://www.amazon.com/dp/069111742X/?tag=googhydr-20&hva... Many thought that Kirshner himself would get the Nobel for his work in the field, and…
……团队做了一些数学计算，解释了一个原本无法解释的现象。我真的、非常希望科学记者们能像真正的科学家那样，在智识上保持谦逊和严谨。如果你想读一段史上最伟大的实验物理学故事，不妨读读《The Extravagant Universe》，它描述了天文学家为了收集数据付出了何等心血、耗费了多长时间，以及他们当初是多么不情愿轻易宣称自己已经……
…team did some math that explains one otherwise unexplained phenomenon. I really, really wish science journalists could be as intellectually humble and conservative as the actual scientists. Read The Extravagant Universe if you want one of the great all-time tales of experimental physics, describing the lengths to which astronomers go to collect data, how long it takes, and how reluctant they were to even claim they were…
……天文学家为了让这项技术更加可靠和精准都做了哪些努力。如果你想通过参与发现暗能量的天文学家之一的第一手叙述来全面了解这件事，那就去读罗伯特·科什纳（Robert Kirschner）写的《The Extravagant Universe》。这本书非常通俗易懂，技术门槛不高，但极为详尽地讲述了天文学家究竟是如何把 Ia 型超新星作为标准烛光的。这本身也是一部伟大的见证……
…astronomers had been doing to make this more reliable and accurate. If you want to know all about this via first-hand account from one of the astronomers credited with the dark energy discovery, read The Extravagant Universe by Robert Kirschner. It's very accessible, not super-technical, but goes into painstaking detail on exactly how astronomers made the type IA work as a standard candle. It's also just a great testament…
……程度，要收集到你需要的数据依然得花上 60 年。这套程序到底是由机器人还是人类来跑，根本没有任何区别。过去几十年里我最喜欢的书之一就是《The Extravagant Universe》，作者是当年协助发现暗能量并推动建立了目前公认度最高的宇宙学模型的天文学家之一。我之所以喜欢这本书，是因为它强调了天文学中的物理过程。……
…extent, it would still take 60 years to gather the data you need. It doesn't make any difference whether robots or humans are running the program. One of my favorite books from the past few decades is The Extravagant Universe, written by one of the astronomers who helped discover dark energy and develop the current most-accepted model of cosmology. I love this book because of the emphasis on physical process in astronomy.…
