Luna Philosophie: The Dark Side of the Universe

The next Luna Philosophie event has been launched to the public!



Join us in San Francisco at Yahoo! Brickhouse or watch the livestream around 6:30pm PT on October 16.

October's topic is:
THE DARK SIDE OF THE UNIVERSE
A scientific revolution in our understanding of the universe is under way. In the last decade or so, cosmology has become an observational science that has led to two mysterious observations: about a quarter of the universe is "dark matter," which gravitationally attracts but is otherwise invisible, and about two-thirds is "dark energy," which causes space itself to expand at an ever-increasing rate. That means only a small fraction of the energy in the universe is due to matter that we understand! In this presentation, we will explore the evidence for dark matter and dark energy, and the experiments being developed to investigate their fundamental nature.

See you there!
