Science Society - Of bounces and bangs: how much do we know about how our Universe began

Dr Chandrima Ganguly Junior Research Fellow, Wolfson College

Date 31/01/2020 at 17.45 - 31/01/2020 at 19.00 Where Gatsby Room, Wolfson College

The Science Society arranges weekly talks (during term time) from various disciplines across the Sciences. The talks are open to anyone and free to attend.

I will discuss how modern cosmology uses observations of the Universe we live in to try to infer how this Universe began. In doing so, I will discuss the possibilities of this beginning, their successes and shortcomings. And finally I will give an overview on the most puzzling open problems facing the field today.
