Mysteries of the Dark Universe - 2009 Buhl Lecture

Edward W. Kolb (known to most as "Rocky") gave the 2009 Buhl Lecture, sponsored by the Carnegie Mellon Department of Physics. In his lecture "Mysteries of the Dark Universe", Kolb talks about how most of the universe is in a mysterious form called dark matter and most of the energy in the universe is in an even more mysterious form called dark energy. In the next decade, the combination of new astronomical facilities, powerful particle accelerators and sensitive laboratory experiments promises to unlock the secrets of dark matter and dark energy, connecting the inner-space of the quantum with the outer space of the cosmos.

Kolb is the Arthur Holly Compton distinguished Service Professor of Astronomy & Astrophysics. In addition to more than 200 scientific papers, he is a co-author of The Early Universe, the standard textbook on particle physics and cosmology. He is the chair of the Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics at the University of Chicago.

Very good indeed, one of the best explanations of universe composition, evolution and dark side analysis around, thank you so much

As early as the time of Michael Faraday at scientific problems in contradiction, academical circles decided victory the some or another.In this optics of domination of certain conceptions: philosophical, theological and of other principles, in science had penetrated mistaken and fallacious theories, and the impossibility of immediate verification, to leaded at the creation others abstractings which had blocked the road of the scientific innovation with practical applications.

As a result of the wrong interpretation of the Michelsom-Morley(1881)'s experiments which had demonstrated that the ETHER is entirely trained with the mass and the Earth's atmosphere, in 1905 A.Einstein renounced at the ether notion, at absolute space and set the relativist mecanics' base.He emits the two restricted relativity principles through which excludes the Ether, impose as limit of bodies' movement -the light speed and denatured completely the classic dynamics reality

Leibnitz(1646...1716) German scientist, forerunner of the mathematical logic, through the denial the newtonian space- time is and he a forerunner of the Einstein's relativity. Einstein considers the gravity as a property of the space and not in the least as a property of the matter which fill up this space. The Einstein's relativity is a geometrization of the space.

The theorist physicist omit to study the science's history as let understand the things and phenomenons, but they learn only the exposed theory for to obtain a diploma, afterwards they twitter. We must let understand the science and how it was builded. Einstein has and good parts, but those mistaken are catastrophic. But Einstein was not single in the supporting the mistakes.

nice and interesting video...

the most detailed comments ive read.. nice video...

@mcdade10 I agree with you 100%

And yet, we can see, we can visualize the ethereal matter. The scheme to one device for to visualize the ethereal matter: EXIST! And this device it can realize!

The death's act is a simple passing from a shape of life at another. The man himself lose not the his personality, remain with the same judjement, with the same feelings, qualities and flaws, with the same intellectual and moral luggage. After awakening in the spacial world remain at the same evolutionary degree. Those what die arrive in space, and those what is born come from upperpart. The terrestrial world from today will form the spacial world of tomorrow.
