Frontiers in understanding the universe | Patricia Burchat | TEDxJamaica

Patricia Burchat is the Gabilan Professor of Physics at Stanford University where she studies the Universe at the smallest and the largest scales, using accelerators to probe the elementary particles and the fundamental interactions, and telescopes to investigate the cosmological evolution of the Universe.

In this thought provoking, engaging and lucid TEDx Jamaica Talk Pat Burchat talks about the evidence for the ever-increasing rate of expansion of space and the implications thereof for the existence of mysterious forms of energy, dark energy, which, together with dark matter constitutes the vast majority (95%) of the Universe though neither dark energy nor dark matter is directly observable.
