Dear Friends,
Tomorrow, Friday, there is a seminar by Syksy Rasanen here at King's at 1200
"Backreaction as an alternative to dark energy and modified gravity. "
Cosmological observations are usually thought to imply the existence
of dark energy or modified gravity. However, it may be possible to
explain late-time observations simply by taking into account the
influence of non-linear structures on the expansion rate and light
propagation. I explain the physics involved and present a
semi-realistic model where the observed timescale of about 10 billion
years emerges from structure formation.
you are all very welcome, the seminar will take place in room S7.06 of the Physics department which is on the 7th floor of the Strand Building.
