Dr. Nicholas Suntzeff of the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory will discuss how the recent results from the High-Z Supernova Search Team have led cosmologists to the improbable conclusion that the Universe is geometrically flat yet filled with a “dark energy” which is so powerful that it has overcome gravity and is driving the Universe into an exponential acceleration.
