In the Dark

I have been asked to use the medium of this blog to transmit information about a forthcoming event at the Royal Society – that’s English for Real Sociedad – next April.

This is a scientific discussion meeting organised by Prof James Binney FRS, Dr Roya Mohayaee, Prof John Peacock FRS & Prof Subir Sarkar to be held from 15-16 April 2024, 09:00-17:00, The Royal Society, London SW1Y 5AG. Here’s a description:

Is the universe simple enough to be adequately described by the standard ΛCDM cosmological model which assumes the isotropic and homogeneous Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker metric? Tensions have emerged between the values of cosmological parameters estimated in different ways. Do these tensions signal that our model is too simple? Could a more sophisticated model account for the data without invoking a Cosmological Constant?

The meeting is free to attend – both in-person and on-line attendance available. Advance registration is essential (an optional lunch is available to purchase during registration).

Meeting papers will be published in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A.

For the full Chapter and Verse see the meeting website here.
