Description
Long before the emergence of planets, stars, or
galaxies, the universe consisted of an exploding
quantum soup of "elementary" particles.
Encoded in this formless, shapeless soup were
seeds of cosmic structure, which over billions
of years grew into the beautiful and complex
universe we observe today.
The lecture will explore the connection between
the "inner space" of the quantum and the
"outer space" of the cosmos. The inner
space/outer space connection may hold the
key to the nature of the dark matter holding
together our galaxy and the mysterious dark
energy pulling apart our universe
