Such progress in turn has triggered further questions yet to be answered. Aspired by such prospects, several institutions dedicated to the research of cosmology have been established in the last decade, which include the Leung Center for Cosmology and Particle Astrophysics (LeCosPA) at the National Taiwan University. To celebrate its 4th anniversary the First LeCosPA Symposium was held in February 2012 at NTU. Internationally renowned physicists and authorities in cosmology, particle astrophysics, gravity and general relativity, and high energy physics convened to survey our present understanding of the universe and to explore the future prospects from both theoretical and experimental perspectives. Topics covered include the detection and the nature of dark matter and dark energy, the fundamental understanding of space, time, mass and gravity itself, cosmological constant and vacuum energy, etc. This book should be valuable to researchers and students in the field of cosmology and particle astrophysics. 588 0 Online resource; title from pdf information screen (Ebsco, viewed April 3, 2013). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Cosmology|vCongresses.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2008101798 650 0 Astrophysics|vCongresses.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2007101547 650 7 Cosmology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/880600 650 7 Astrophysics.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/819797 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Conference papers and proceedings.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1423772 655 7 Conference papers and proceedings.|2lcgft|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026068 700 1 Chen, Pisin,|d1950-|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no99056266 710 2 Guo li Taiwan da xue.|bLiang Cizhen yu zhou xue yu li zi tian wen wu li xue zhong xin.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no2016163250 711 2 Symposium "Towards Ultimate Understanding of the Universe" |n(1st :|d2012 :|cTaipei, Taiwan) 776 08 |iPrint version:|aCompany, World Scientific Publishing |tTowards Ultimate Understanding of the Universe : Proceedings of the First LeCosPA Symposium|dSingapore : World Scientific Publishing Company,c2012|z9789814449366 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=545474|zOnline eBook.
