World Science Festival | To Infinity and Beyond: The Accelerating Universe

It’s modern cosmology’s biggest mystery—an unexplained energy that could one day rip the universe apart. It’s called dark energy, an anti-gravitational force that confounds the conventional laws of physics. It’s the most dominant substance in the universe, making up more than two-thirds of the cosmos. And yet, nearly two decades after its discovery, science is still grappling to explain what dark energy actually is. With today’s top physicists as our guides, we’ll journey to the earliest moments of the universe—and then far into the future—searching for answers.
