Thank you all so much for your interest! We look forward to seeing you at our future events.​​​​​​\n\n\nA free public lecture starting at 7pm sharp on Wednesday\, February 19th at the Jeanne Timmins Amphitheatre (3801 rue University) by Moore Foundation Chief Program Officer Robert Kirshner.\n \n Astronomers have known about the expansion of the Universe for nearly one hundred years. Twenty years ago\, we set out to use exploding stars to mea sure gravity’s predicted effect: the slowing down of cosmic expansion. To our astonishment\, the measurements showed the expansion of the universe w as speeding up! This astonishing (un)-discovery of cosmic acceleration is now confirmed by many independent methods. We attribute it to a “dark ener gy” that dominates the Universe whose nature is a deep mystery at the hear t of physics.\n\nCome to the lecture to get a firsthand accounting of this cosmic mystery from one of the world's leading experts!\n DTSTART:20200220T000000Z DTEND:20200220T010000Z LOCATION:Jeanne Timmins Amphitheatre\, Montreal Neurological Institute\, CA \, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 2B4\, 3801 rue University SUMMARY:**CANCELLED** AstroPhysics Public Lecture: 'Our Extravagant Univers e: The Undiscovery of Cosmic Deceleration' URL:/science/channels/event/cancelled-astrophysics-pub lic-lecture-our-extravagant-universe-undiscovery-cosmic-deceleration-31956 0 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
