Building 6, Lecture Room F1The Department of Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics invites you to a special lecture by renowned cosmologist Bharat Ratra, pioneer in dark energy research and recipient of the 2025 Julius Edgar Lilienfeld Prize.
Dark energy is the leading candidate for the mechanism that is responsible for causing the cosmological expansion to accelerate. Bharat Ratra will describe the astronomical data which persuade cosmologists that (as yet undetected) dark energy and dark matter are by far the main components of the energy budget of the universe at the present time. He will review how these observations have led to the development of a quantitative "standard" model of cosmology that describes the evolution of the universe from an early epoch of inflation to the complex hierarchy of structure seen today. In this non-technical talk, he will also discuss the basic physics, and the history of ideas, on which this model is based.
