Direct observation of the universe shows us a moving apart of all things on enormous distance and time scales. For almost 100 years the question of appearances vs. reality drove the investigation of just why things would look this way. The result is a set of mathematical models known collectively as The Big Bang. This talk covers, in lay terms, what the universe looks like now, what that suggests about what it looked like in the past, and what it was that changed over time. Topics will include both the mundane (temperature, particles, energy, space and time) and the exotic (temperature, particles, energy, space and time). And of course we won’t leave “Dark Matter” and “Dark Energy” out. That would be rude.

This free presentation will be held at Moretown Elementary school, hope to see you there!
