The Australian Institute of Physics celebrates the contribution of women to advances in physics.  Dr Katherine (Katie) Mack will present the following community lecture:

Dispatches from a Dark Universe

There’s more to the Universe than we can see – even more than we can ever see. I’ll give a tour of the edges of our knowledge of the cosmos, including where the frontiers are, and what might remain unknowable forever. Come for the Big Bang, stay for the possibility of the ultimate destruction of all of reality.

Topics include dark matter, dark energy and recent research on Higgs vacuum decay.
