Science Sundays Paul Martini

Join us for Science Sundays this weekend

The accelerating expansion of the universe cannot be explained by our present understanding of the physics of the universe. Large-scale spectroscopic surveys provide unique information to address this fundamental mystery, which is commonly ascribed to some unknown form of dark energy. Professor Paul Martini will describe recent and exciting results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) that are challenging some long-held ideas about the nature of dark energy.
