Meeting This Saturday

TAPT, 

Just a quick reminder. We are meeting this coming Saturday, April 9th, at J.D. Garcia’s house for breakfast and a talk everyone in the world is interested in.  Dr. Eduardo Rozo will talk about dark energy, and the recent LIGO results. Here is his description: 

Understanding Dark Energy, or How to Blow the Universe Apart

Gravity pulls.  However, when it comes to the Universe as a whole, the data is unequivocal.  Gravity is blowing up the Universe, making it expand faster and faster.  I will discuss the evidence for dark energy, and the ongoing experiments designed to help us understand how this may be happening.  I will finish by briefly discussing the recent LIGO results, and the implications of these results for dark energy studies.

Please join us for potluck breakfast at 8:30 am. We aim to end by about 10:30. Directions to J.D.’s house are attached [use the Contact form on the right for directions]. All are welcome, new members and old.

Hope to see you Saturday!
