Faszination Astronomie: Kosmologie in der Krise?

In the organizer's words:

Our modern physical world view, the standard cosmological model, is characterized by the fact that it is based on only three simple assumptions. Nevertheless, it provides a framework in which almost all cosmological observations can be accommodated. The price for this is that this model cannot do without dark matter and dark energy. Now some observations show results that seem to call the standard cosmological model into question. Is this really the case?

The lecture will begin with how physical models of the world can be constructed and how physics goes about describing observable phenomena in the first place. He will then explain the phenomena on which the standard cosmological model is based, how it explains them, what predictions follow from them and how these are tested against other phenomena. Finally, he will discuss which observations are regarded as contradictory and whether the model is really in crisis as a result.

Prof. Dr. Matthias Bartelmann has been a professor at the Institute for Theoretical Physics (ITP) at Heidelberg University since 2003. His research focuses on cosmological questions, in particular the formation and development of cosmic structures.
