The 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to two separate discoveries that broadened our understanding of the Universe. One half of the prize was given to Jim Peebles “for contributions to our understanding of the evolution of the universe” and the other half to Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz “for the discover of an exoplanet orbiting a solar-type star.” Both of these works fundamentally changed our view of our universe and our place in it. Faculty of the Physics Program will expand on the ideas behind the discoveries and emphasize their significance.Pizza will be provided.
