The Accelerating Universe

Event Type
Lecture
Date
Thursday, April 12, 2012
Time
7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Description
In 1998 two teams traced back the expansion of the universe over billions of years and discovered that it was accelerating, a revolutionary discovery that suggests 75 percent of the cosmos is filled with a mysterious dark energy which now controls the future of our universe. Brian Schmidt, a co-recipient of the 2011 Nobel Prize for Physics who co-founded the High-Z Supernova Search Team along with Texas A&M University Professor Nicholas Suntzeff, will describe this discovery and explain how astronomers have used observations to trace our universe's history back more than 13 billion years, leading them to ponder the ultimate fate of the cosmos.
