Quantum Cosmos: How the smallest things explain the biggest things Zoe Learner Ponterio, Manager, Spacecraft Planetary Image Facility Cornell University Friday, April 4, 8:00 PM
April 4 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
We know many fundamental things about the universe – that it is expanding, that it had a beginning, and what it is made of. But even more interesting is HOW we know it, especially without video footage showing the Big Bang or the motion of the galaxies as they drift apart, and, except for the inner Solar System, without samples to analyze in a laboratory. If the laws of nature are the same across space and time (and that’s a pretty big if), we can understand quite a lot about the universe by studying its most basic building blocks. Join us for a journey starting in the quantum realm and zooming out to the entire cosmos.
