The Known Unknowns of the Universe: Dark Matter & Energy

Lecture in English

Deanna C. Hooper PhD, Helsinki Institute of Physics

Wednesday, 4 May 2022, 7 p.m.
at Volkssternwarte (Munich Public Observatory), Rosenheimer Str. 145h, 81671 München

We are in an age of incredibly precise cosmological data coming from some of the most imaginative experiments humans have ever created, and yet ninety five percent of the universe is still a mystery to us. Dark matter and dark energy shape the universe, but they are still largely unknown. However, we have very good evidence for their existence and impact on the universe, which means they are not completely unknowable. There is hope that in the future we can know more about these fundamental ingredients. In this talk I will review what we know, and what we know we do not know, about dark matter and dark energy, and discuss future prospects for understanding this mysterious ninety five percent of the universe.
