Dr. Bouchet will describe current astronomical observations that precisely constraint the nature of the Cosmos in which we live, leading to radical ideas for the origin of the structures within it. This touches on questions such as: How did the Universe originate? What is it made of? Why is it the way that it is? What is the nature of the mysterious so-called Dark Matter and Dark Energy that dominate the composition of the Universe and impose its evolution with time? How do we actually learn about all these? And what are the new mysteries that our observations are revealing?
