Description

Astrophysicist Roberto Trotta turned a thought experiment into a short book, "The Edge of the Sky: All You Need To Know about the All-There-Is."

Trotta has taken the most common 1000 words in english to explain dark matter, dark energy and the early universe. He tells Town Hall Scholar in Residence Steve Scher why.
