SECRET SCIENCE CLUB PRESENTS

"DARK MYSTERIES OF THE UNIVERSE" WITH ASTROPHYSICIST

JEREMIAH OSTRIKER

Rocket into deep space with astrophysicist and author Jeremiah Ostriker as he explores dark matter & dark energy. Making up 95 percent of the known Cosmos, the Dark Duo are maddeningly invisible-yet they shape the very structure of the Universe and drive its expansion. Is dark energy the fabric of space itself? Is dark matter comprised of yet-to-be-discovered subatomic particles? How do scientists detect the undetectable? Drawing on his new book, Heart of Darkness: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Invisible Universe, Dr. Ostriker discusses the latest theories, observations, and data-as well as the mind-boggling questions that remain.

Jeremiah Ostriker is professor of astronomy at Columbia University and emeritus professor of astrophysics at Princeton University. Apioneering researcher and author of more than 500 scientific papers, he was awarded the National Medal of Science, theGold Medal from the Royal Astronomical Society, and the James Craig Watson Medal from the National Academy of Sciences for his "bold astrophysical insights." Don't miss a nanosecond of his awesome talk . . .
