Dark matter and dinosaurs: an amazing interconnection of events in the universe. Randall L.

What is common between dark matter and dinosaurs that dominated on earth for many millions of years, and then suddenly died out? It is believed that the cause of their death was a collision with a comet, but no one knows why she left her usual orbit. In this masterpiece of popular science literature, the famous theoretical physicist, Lisa Randall offers her explanation. It was the dark matter, in her opinion, that could direct the fateful comet to the ground for dinosaurs. The intricacies of astronomy and biology in the book are read as a detective story in which new ideas about dark matter help to reveal not only the secrets of five mass extinctions, but also the origins of our existence.
