Talk title and abstract
Illuminating the Nature of Cosmic Acceleration
The nature of cosmic acceleration (known as "dark energy") remains a mystery, twenty-four years after the observations that first discovered its existence. I will discuss how future space missions can probe dark energy and test gravity, and advance our understanding of cosmic acceleration.
This will be a hybrid seminar. If you would like to join in person, please meet in the Physics building (Room 308). Would you like to join this seminar via Zoom? Please email WCA.
