Our guest speaker this month is Dr Eva-Maria Mueller from the University of Sussex:
Join me on a journey into the enigmatic realm of dark energy, the unseen force accelerating the expansion of our universe. In this talk, I will guide you from the ground-breaking discovery of dark energy to the forefront of current research, unravelling its profound implications for the cosmos. Designed for curious minds of all backgrounds, I will illuminate the latest theories and experiments, revealing how dark energy shapes our universe's fate. Come along as we explore one of science's greatest mysteries, transforming our understanding of the cosmos and our place within it.
