The Dark Side of the Universe | Erik Verlinde, Michael Duff, Massimo Pigliucci

from Philosophy for our times | The Institute of Art and Ideas Podcast · host IAI

Nearly twenty years have passed since scientists first proposed a mysterious force, Dark Energy, pushing our universe apart. Yet there is no direct evidence for it or any idea what it might be. Might our theories of the universe be profoundly mistaken or is an explanation of Dark Energy around the corner? The Panel M-Theorist Michael Duff, Philosopher Massimo Pigliucci and String Theorist Erik Verlinde chase shadows in the cosmos.
