Dark Energy, Extra Dimensions and Cosmology

Dark Energy, Extra Dimensions and Cosmology
-

This is a past event

The Nobel Prize for physics recently went to one of the most unexpected observations in Cosmology: The Universe is not just expanding but accelerating. We’ll look at the possible mysterious explanations - Dark Energy or a failure of Einstein's Gravity - which may happen if we live in more than four dimensions.
