Description
The Dark Side of the Universe: Dark Matter and Dark Energy When: Tuesday, February 24, 2009 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM Where: Blackstone Hotel price $15 Reception/Registration: 5:30-6:00pm, Lecture: 6:00-7:30pm. Only one percent of the Universe is made of the kind of everyday matter that can be seen with telescopes, the stars, the planets, and us. Another 3.5 percent is made of hot gas that can only be seen with x-ray instruments. The rest is a complete mystery. Join us as three prominent scientists (cosmologist Rocky Kolb, particle physicist Joe Lykken, and cosmologist Michael Turner) discuss what we know about the nature of dark matter and dark energy and the roles of particle accelerators and telescopes in solving the mystery of the unseen percent of the Universe. For adults. Admission is free for Chicago Council for Science and Technology members; $15 for non-members. To register online, email: info@c2st.org.
