[ATENEO] Talks at the Ateneo: "Dark energy and cosmic expansion" by Airam Marcos at 19:30

Start date: 07/05/2019 00:00 End date: 07/05/2019 21:30

According to cosmological evidence, the Universe is dominated by an unknown type of energy with characteristics very different from those of ordinary matter. Its unusual physical properties cause an acceleration of the expansion of the Universe that contradicts the attractive character that gravity normally has. This new phenomenon has very clear implications for the future and destiny of the Universe. In addition, it is possible that the nature of this energy is linked to the very foundations of physics.
