November 2024 - Studying the universe on a tabletop

Our guest speaker this month will be Amber Shepherd from the University of Sussex:

There is still a lot that we do not understand about our universe, such as dark matter and dark energy.

Much of our understanding of dark matter comes from observations made from far out galaxies. We are building a very sensitive tabletop device to gather data which may help to answer some of these questions. This talk will explore what new physics tabletop experiments may uncover, as well as the quantum technology we are setting up to search for dark matter.

Arrive from 7pm for a 7:30pm start.

For this meeting we will be at Wagner Hall on Regency Road, Brighton.
Attendance is free, but we would be grateful if those of you who are able to could donate a few pounds to help cover the cost of hiring this event space.
