We want to raise interest for this interesting field of research, maybe even raise enthusiasm. External guests are cordially invited as well.[[BR]] [[BR]] Parts 1 - 4 took place in the last semester. In Part 5 and 6 of the lecture series the stars have been discussed, and in Part 7 planets were introduced ([https://intranet.mpia.de/intranet/en/lecture-series all recordings can be found here]).[[BR]][[BR]]We will not hear about dark force during this talk, but we will learn about the dark matter and dark energy that seem to dominate our universe. While people have been speculating about dark matter for almost a hundred years, dark energy is a relatively young hypothesis. But what motivates the idea of this dark side of the universe? What does it mean for the evolution of the universe? Is there any explanation for it or is it possible to prove it? Or does "dark" here only mean that we just don't know anything?[[BR]][[BR]]These questions will be addressed as part of the lecture series "Astronomy for non-Astronomers", presented by an astrophysicist, i.e. a non-astronomer.[[Br]][[Br]]Presentation: German[[Br]]Slides/Recording: German[[BR]]Questions: German, English || |
