The Quantum and the Cosmos
Quantum laws rule the microscopic world. In the Big Bang era, our world was subatomic and governed by quantum phenomena which generated all the cosmic structures, from galaxies to light, around us today. This connection between the quantum and the cosmos may explain the nature of dark matter holding together our galaxy and the mysterious dark energy tearing apart our universe.
The Quantum and the Cosmos is free and open to the public.
Following the lecture, attendees may visit Laws Observatory.
The Quantum and the Cosmos is part of the American Physical Society Prairie Section Fall 2023 Meeting.
Attendees can visit the meeting website for a full schedule plus information about parking, lodging, APS membership and more.
