We
now think the Universe is packed with invisible materials – dark matter
and dark energy – pulling and pushing the parts that we see. BBC
Stargazing Live and Sky at Night presenter, Lucie Green explores this
frontier of understanding with Nobel laureate Adam Riess and other
leading cosmologists.
Adam Riess is an astrophysicist at Johns
Hopkins University and the Space Telescope Science Institute. Riess
shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2011 for providing evidence that
the expansion of the Universe is accelerating. More recently, he has
also been awarded the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics, adding
to his many awards and prizes over the years.
Lucie Green is a
space scientist based at UCL’s Department of Space and Climate Physics.
She studies the atmosphere of the Sun, particularly the immense magnetic
fields which sporadically erupt into the Solar System. She is also
actively involved in public engagement with science, regularly giving
public talks and presenting TV and radio programmes.

Wechsler is an astrophysicist and a professor at the Kavli Institute for
Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology at Stanford University and the SLAC
National Accelerator Laboratory. Wechsler's work combines massive
cosmological simulations with large galaxy surveys that are mapping the
Universe, to study the nature of dark energy, dark matter, and the
formation of galaxies. She is currently leading the science
collaboration of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, which will
make a 3D map of 30 million galaxies to elucidate the structure of the
Universe.
Dr. Renée Hlozek is the Lyman Spitzer Jr. Postdoctoral
Fellow in Theoretical Astrophysics in at Princeton University; the
Spitzer-Cotsen Fellow in the Princeton Society of Fellows in the Liberal
Arts and is currently a Senior TED Fellow. In 2011, she received her
DPhil in Astrophysics from Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar from
the class of South-Africa-at-Large and Christ Church, 2008. Her research
focuses on theoretical cosmology; as a member of the Atacama Cosmology
Telescope she measures the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation to
decipher the initial conditions of the universe.
