Dr. Derek Kimball will discuss how modern cosmology poses deep, unanswered questions about the nature of the universe, we are searching for possible answers to these questions using precise measurements of atomic spins. Heretofore undiscovered, symmetry-violating interactions could explain dark energy, contribute to dark matter, and generate the matter/antimatter asymmetry of the universe. Such interactions also produce spin-mass and spin-spin interactions that can be searched for in laboratory experiments in a variety of ways.
