International Centre for Theoretical Sciences via YouTube

Overview

Explore the mysteries of the universe in this comprehensive lecture on dark matter, dark energy, and Einstein's cosmological constant. Delve into the astronomical data that has led cosmologists to believe in the existence of dark energy and dark matter as the primary components of the universe's energy budget. Examine the development of the quantitative "standard" model of cosmology, which describes the universe's evolution from early inflation to the complex structure observed today. Learn about the basic physics and historical ideas underlying this model. Gain insights from distinguished professor Bharat Ratra, a renowned expert in cosmology and astroparticle physics, as he discusses his groundbreaking work on dynamical dark energy models and the structure and evolution of the universe.
