Hertz Lectures

Public lectures with internationally renowned scientists

With the Hertz lectures DESY reminds on the merits of Heinrich Hertz: He provided evidence that electricity and magnetism are two manifestations of one force - electromagnetism. Heinrich Hertz was born in 1857 in Hamburg. Many aspects of current particle physics at DESY follow the ideas of Heinrich Hertz, with the aim to achieve a unified description of all forces of nature. The English-speaking lectures by internationally renowned scientists to give a broad audience insight into the modern basic research.

Consensus and confusion in cosmology

Hertz Lecture 2024

Prof. Dr. Marc Kamionkowski

Johns Hopkins University

The past quarter century has been a period of rapid progress in our understanding of the origin and evolution of the Universe. We now have a simple mathematical model that can account for the gross features of our Universe as well as detailed information from precise measurements and observations. The model requires, though, several ingredients, such as dark matter and dark energy, that are not to be found within our current understanding of the fundamental laws of physics. There has also emerged, in the past few years, some inconsistencies between various measurements. In this talk, I will describe the triumphs of our current cosmological model, as well as its shortcomings.
