As part of the LAPP Wednesdays program, the Annecy Laboratory of Particle Physics (LAPP ) is organizing a conference entitled " From the big bang to the present day, a journey through space and time ", to be held on March 13, 2024 from 6pm to 7pm at the LAPP premises on the Annecy campus. Prior to the conference, it will be possible to visit the laboratory from 5pm for privileged exchanges with the scientists.
About the conference-debate
By observing the universe, we can attempt to reconstruct its history and develop a cosmological model to account for its evolution.
This talk will explain how, over the last 100 years, scientific advances have provided the various pieces of the puzzle that, once assembled, make up the current model. We'll also see that, despite undeniable successes, uncertainties and misunderstandings persist, and constitute further research topics for modern cosmology.
This conference will be presented by Dominique Boutigny, CNRS research director at LAPP.
