Published: Feb. 24, 2017, 4:01 p.m.

The next installment of the UA's Science Lecture Series will be hosted by Elliot Cheu, Distinguished Professor of Physics at the University of Arizona. Our current model of the particle world is successful in describing the Universe as we know it. But we don't understand many of the underlying principles that shape the natural world. The nature of mysterious things such as dark matter and dark energy are as yet unknown to us. Dr. Cheu's lecture will describe the journey that has culminated in our current understanding of the universe and what we still need to discover. In this episode: Elliot Cheu, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor of Physics at the UA; Tim Swindle, Ph.D., Department Head and Director of the UA's Lunar and Planetary Lab
