THE DARK SIDE OF THE UNIVERSE

with Professor Max Tegmark

At our next breakfast talk, we'll introduce you to one of our newer members of the faculty, Max Tegmark.  Professor Tegmark's research focuses on precision cosmology. He combines theoretical work with new measurements to place sharp constraints on cosmological models and their free parameters. With the most amazing pictures, Max will demonstrate that space is not a boring static stage on which events unfold over time, but rather a dynamic entity with curvature, fluctuations, and a rich life of its own. We hope you'll join us to see these spectacular measurements probing the properties of spacetime over 22 orders of magnitude in scale, and hear what they teach us about black holes, dark matter and dark energy as well as the origin and fate of our universe.
