How the universe began—and how it is likely to end | Prof Carlos Frenk | TEDxDurham

Prof Carlos Frenk presents in his home city to discuss one of the biggest potential changes in our basic understanding of how the Universe works. It involves 5000 robots in the Arizona desert and how the data they are collecting from the edges of the known Universe could upend long accepted theories on the birth of the Universe. Prof Carlos Frenk has been a Durham University physics superstar for decades now. He is one of the world’s leading cosmologists and a pioneer of the “cold dark matter” model, which transformed our understanding of how galaxies and the universe formed. A Professor of Cosmology and founding Director of the Institute for Computational Cosmology, his simulations of the universe have helped reveal the invisible structure of the cosmos. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
