About this event

Science & Tech • Science

Professor Riess will describe his team's measurements that reveal how the expansion of space has unfolded over time, and explain why they are surprising. This work was recognized with the 2011 Nobel prize in physics and more recently has led to yet another surprising result. Both of these findings remain major drivers of the cosmology community's attempts to understand the cosmos and the fundamental laws of nature.
