Dr. Ted Bunn from the University of Richmond will discuss dark matter and dark energy at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 15 at James Madison University.
Bunn’s presentation, titled “Listening to the Big Bang,” is free and open to the public and will take place in the Wilson Hall Auditorium. Plenty of free parking will be available in the Warsaw Avenue parking deck adjacent to the Forbes Center for the Performing Arts.
The vast majority of the energy in the Universe comes in two mysterious forms, dark matter and dark energy. Ordinary matter, like atoms, molecules — the stuff people and the rest of the world are made up of — constitutes only a tiny fraction of the Universe. Bunn will describe the observations over the last few decades that have led to this astonishing conclusion.
