The science of change
Dr Che Gannarelli
How cold?
The very big (everything, in fact)
Gravity: the force
that shapes how the
Universe grows.
And we understand it
– kind of.
Faster and faster?
• The Universe is expanding faster than our best
science says it should be.
• Scientists propose that it is being driven apart
by something named ‘dark energy’.
• Understanding expansion will help us to
understand the ultimate fate of the Universe.
Is that the end of physics?
