The Expanding Universe: Historical, Theoretical, and Aesthetic Observations
Why you should go
Learn about whether the beginning of the universe was “the birth from nothing” or “the birth from everything”.
DETAILS
This talk will discuss how the continued expansion of the universe has been accompanied in recent times by the expansion of cosmological ideas and concepts. Specifically, these ideas came from the Soviet Union in its final years to the rest of the world from East to West. Dr. Andrei Barvinsky, scientific researcher at the Theory Department of the Lebedev Physics Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, will survey the history of quantum gravity and cosmology since the final years of the Soviet Union.
