Highlights of the revision include the rise and fall of the fifth force, principles and applications of gravitational lensing, COBE?s spectacular confirmation of the blackbody spectrum of the cosmic thermal radiation, theories of dark matter and inflation, and the early universe as a testing ground for particle physicists? unification theories, and much, much more.
