学术报告：Dark Matter, Dark Energy: The Copernican Revolution Continues

报告题目： Dark Matter, Dark Energy: The Copernican Revolution Continues 报告人： Prof. Daniel J. Larson, Penn State University，USA 报告时间： 2013-7-5 15:30 报告地点：理科楼3楼报告厅摘要： Copernicus, Galileo, Newton and others were responsible for a dramatic change in scientific thought and worldview. We continue to learn things about the cosmos that fundamentally change our understanding. The accelerating expansion of the universe is the most important cosmological discovery in many decades, and its cause is one of the most profound questions in contemporary science. This talk deals with these issues in a manner accessible to a general audience. 个人简介： Daniel J.
