TAPT,
We have an exciting talk lined up for Saturday, April 9th,
the date of our next meeting. Professor Eduardo Rozo, new faculty in the
Physics Department, will speak about Dark Energy AND LIGO! Yikes! Don't miss
it.
Here is Dr. Rozo's 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.
Our meeting will follow the usual format, potluck breakfast
at 8:30 am, talk shortly after. We are debating about moving the meeting to the
University. If you have a chance, drop me a line to let me know if you are attending.
If the meeting will be small, we'll meet at J.D.s, if large, J.D. will get us a
room at the U.
Thanks in advance for letting me know,
Karie
Karie Meyers, Ph.D.
