Einstein’s telescope: the hunt for dark matter and dark energy in the universe. Evelyn Gates. 2010.

In 1936, Albert Einstein predicted that gravitational distortions would allow space itself to act as a telescope far more powerful than humans could ever build. Now, cosmologists at the forefront of their field are using this radical technique (Einstein’s Telescope)to detect the invisible. In Einstein’s Telescope astrophysicist Evelyn Gates explains how this tool is enabling scientists to uncover planets as big as the Earth, discover black holes that whirl through space  and trace the the evolution of cosmic architecture over billions of years.
