Australia Talks - Dark Energy


On Thursday, November 27, ABC Radio National’s Australia Talks program tackles Dark Energy – how does it relate to the big bang – what is current research telling us – is it matter, is it vacuum, is it a constant – and whatever happened to the theory of everything?

Leading Australian astronomers, Brian Schmidt and Charley Lineweaver from the Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the Australian National University, and Tamara Davis from the Department of Astrophysics at University of Queensland, will discuss their work on Dark Energy.

Australia Talks presenter Paul Barclay along with Graham Phillips, who as well as reporting for the ABC TV science show, Catalyst, has a PhD in astrophysics, will co-host the show.

The program is broadcast around the country on ABC Radio National. It takes calls from listeners so you can ask a question and contribute to the discussion. The number to call is 1300 22 55 76.

Australia Talks can be heard after 4pm in the West, after 5pm in Queensland and the Northern Territory, and after 6pm in the rest of the country. But if you’re in Adelaide, you should call at 5.30 pm. Web site below
