In 1915 Einstein presented his theory of general relativity which is still today the reigning theory of gravity. In the talk, you'll get an intuitive introduction to general relativity and learn how this theory is used to model the entire universe.
You'll also knnow how this theory, when coupled with astronomical observations, leads to the conclusion that 95 % of the content of the Universe is in the form of mysterious substances dubbed dark matter and dark energy.
The speaker:
Sofie Marie Koksbang is Villum Young Investigator and Assistant Professor at the Center for Cosmology and Particle Physics Phenomenology (CP3-Origins) at the University of Southern Denmark
The Society for the Dissemination of Natural Sciences awarded Sofie with the prestigious Kirstine Meyers Memorial prize in 2022
In 2023 she published a book named Gravity
The concept:
Science and Beers is a popular science talk series. The goal is to make science fun, accessible and to normalise science conversations in a social setting.
