RMA Presents “The Surprising Expansion History of the Universe”

Dr. Adam Riess, Nobel laureate, spoke to the Greenwich Retired Men’s Association about the discovery that the universe's expansion is accelerating, a finding driven by observations of distant supernovae and attributed to mysterious "dark energy." He recounted the initial skepticism and eventual acceptance of this breakthrough, which challenged previous assumptions and required a decade of cross-verification with other cosmological data.
