Benjamin Dean Lecture - The New Universe and The Human Future

In the centuries since Newton, scientifically minded people have thought of Earth as a lonely rock orbiting an average star in a universe where no place is special. But modern cosmology has now given us a completely new picture of the universe based on dark matter, dark energy, and the drama of cosmic evolution. In this talk, Abrams and Primack will explain the new picture with stunning astronomical videos and relate it to life here on Earth, suggesting ways of understanding the global issues of our time in their cosmic context.

Speakers: Prof. Joel R. Primack and Nancy Ellen Abrams, Esq., University of California, Santa Cruz
