David Weinberg (OSU)

“Cosmology Past, Present, and Future”

I will give a broad overview of the current state of observational cosmology, with historical context and an eye to the future. Developments over the past three decades have led to a standard cosmological scenario that is remarkably successful at explaining a wide array of high precision measurements. However, this scenario leaves several big questions at best partially answered. What is dark matter? Why is the expansion of the universe accelerating? What is the physics of inflation and the

origin of the universe? I will discuss observational tensions that hint at cracks within the standard model, and I will discuss ongoing and upcoming experimental efforts that aim at order-of-magnitude increases in measurement precision with the hope of revealing vital new clues about the physics of the cosmos.
