Title: Structure and energy contents of the universe

Speaker: Houjun Mo (UMASS)

Time: Oct. 13th (Friday), 15:30

Location: Room 215


Abstract: Einstein's General Relativity predicts that the space-time structure of the universe is determined by its matter/energy contents. I will describe how astronomical observations are used to investigate the space-time structure and history of the universe, and discuss the success and potential problems of the standard cosmology.
