Brinson Lecture 2025 - Saul Perlmutter, Nobel Laureate (UC Berkeley):
What We Learn When We Learn that the Universe is Accelerating
The discovery that the universe’s expansion is accelerating was not only unexpected, but it also led to the hunt for a mysterious Dark Energy that apparently comprises almost three-quarters of the “stuff” of the universe. How was this discovery made? What has been the progress since? And what does this tell us about how science – and scientific-style critical thinking – work?
