| Title: | Confronting The Dark Energy Crisis In Fundamental Physics (Colloquia) |
|---|---|
| Start Date: | 03/30/2009 |
| Time: | 4:30 pm |
| Location: | 1 LeConte |
| Speaker: | Chris Stubbs |
| Affiliation: | Harvard |
| Details: | The discovery of the accelerating expansion of the Universe has precipitated a crisis in fundamental physics. Dark Energy, which drives the apparent gravitational repulsion between regions of empty space, poses a major challenge to our understanding of the interface between gravity and quantum mechanics. I will describe projects, both under way and in the planning stages, that are designed to improve our understanding of the Dark Energy problem. |
