2025 Dirac Lectures on Cosmology Beyond the Λ-CDM Model
About the Event
The Dirac Lectures is an initiative of Florida State University to celebrate the memory of Paul Dirac, late FSU physics faculty member, Nobel Prize laureate, and namesake of the Dirac Science Library. These lectures bring outstanding speakers to FSU to present physics topics of particular interest and notability.
The 2025 Dirac lecture series is dedicated to the subject of Cosmology Beyond the Λ-CDM Model with a special focus on tensions that have emerged between cosmological and astrophysical data and the standard cosmological model. The lectures will be held at the Department of Physics at Florida State University on April 16-18, 2025.
