Description
Looking Back to the Big Bang by Professor Jo Dunkley from Princeton University
When we look out into space we look back in time. I will talk about our quest to understand the history of the universe from the Big Bang to today, by studying distant light coming from the earliest moments in time. Using telescopes high in the Chilean desert we are asking questions about how fast space is growing and how that growth began billions of years ago, as well as seeking to reveal the invisible ‘dark’ ingredients of the cosmos.
