The University of Chicago 2022 Brinson Lecture
The 2022 Brinson Lecture will feature Carlos Frenk of University of Durham (UK) on “How our Universe was Made: All from Nothing” on May 17 at 7:00 p.m. (Eastern time)
We were asked to share this event and it will be livestreamed for the public to watch.
Professor Frenk is Director of the Institute for Computational Cosmology, Durham University's world-renowned theoretical cosmology research group. Along with collaborators from all over the world, he builds model universes in state-of-the-art supercomputers trying to understand how the structures in our Universe evolved from simple beginnings to the complex structures composed of stars and galaxies that we see today.
His lecture will address some of the most fundamental questions in science: How and when did our universe begin? What is it made of? How did galaxies and other structures form? There has been enormous progress in the past few decades towards answering these questions and a coherent picture of cosmic evolution going back to a tiny fraction of a second after the Big Bang is beginning to emerge. However, fundamental issues like the identity of the dark matter and the nature of the dark energy remain unresolved.
Event is on May 17 at 7:00 p.m. (Eastern time)
