Meeting/Talk on "Weak gravitational lensing in the dark
Universe"
by Alexandra Amon, University of Edinburgh. |
RGC,
Aberdeen, 7 pm
(Directions to RGC)
Light always travels in straight lines. But mass
distorts the fabric of space itself, allowing light to appear to bend
around massive objects. This talk will look at how tiny deviations of
light over cosmic scales can be used to probe otherwise invisible mass
in the dark universe.
