Future Fridays: Dr. Alex Filippenko - SOLD OUT

Alex Filippenko

Mysterious dark matter and dark energy are aspects of our Universe
 that we cannot see, taste, or feel, but they are very important: dark
matter keeps galaxies gravitationally bound, and dark energy is
 accelerating the expansion of the Universe. We wouldn't exist without 
dark matter, or if dark energy were much stronger than it is!

Speaker: Alex Filippenko was a member of both teams whose leaders were awarded
 the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics for discovering the accelerating 
Universe. Voted the "best professor" on the UC Berkeley campus a
 record nine times, and the 2006 National Professor of the Year, he is 
frequently featured in "The Universe" series on The History Channel.
