Sunday February 23, 2014
COSI - Center of Science and Industry, 333 West Broad Street

It all started with a Big Bang. The Universe was once filled with hot, dense matter, smoothly distributed across a rapidly expanding space. Professor Lloyd Knox from the University of California at Davis is using data from the Planck satellite launched in 2009, to better understand the origins of our complex Universe from this simple beginning. Meet scientists from the Center for Cosmology and AstroParticle Physics at The Ohio State University, who will share their research. This program is free.
Lloyd Knox is a Professor of Physics at the University of California at Davis. He is leading the U.S. component of the effort to determine the basic parameters of the cosmos from the data acquired by the Planck satellite, a European Space Agency mission with significant NASA participation.
