Mapping the invisible forces that shape our expanding universe
In short: Join Nobel laureate Adam Riess and leading astrophysicists as they unpack the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy. This discussion explores the hidden structures governing the cosmos and how we map them.
The panel features experts from institutions including Johns Hopkins, Stanford, and Princeton to discuss the fundamental components of our universe. Adam Riess, who shared the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics for discovering the accelerating expansion of the universe, joins Risa Wechsler and Renée Hlozek.
The conversation highlights cutting-edge methods like massive cosmological simulations and large galaxy surveys. A key project mentioned is the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, which aims to create a 3D map of 30 million galaxies to reveal the universe's underlying structure.
