Description
May 16-18, 2016Program Organizers: Anna Ijjas and Paul Steinhardt
Cosmology is ready for some new ideas. There are the standard paradigms - inflationary theory, WIMP dark matter, and the cosmological constant - that suggest we have an answer to the big questions about the origin, evolution, composition, and future of the universe, though, none of the standard paradigms is complete or without problems. This program is designed to promote collaboration among theorists who share the same interest of finding truly novel approaches to the big open questions of cosmology.
The program has two key elements: (i) regular monthly meetings of a small core group each focused on different aspects of theoretical cosmology. The style of the meetings will be small and informal with ample time for discussion; (ii) a final workshop on major open issues in cosmology.
