2020 INNO SUMMER INSTITUTE

Interstellar Intricacies

Course Description

How can we know our place in this universe without understanding its scope and composition? What are “dark energy” and “antimatter”? This course will delve deep into the “how” of our universe, contrasting modern knowledge with age old concepts in an attempt to assign reason to the unsolved mysteries of the cosmos. Backed by virtual reality experiences, topics such as relativity, astrobiology, and black hole formation are sure to make this an adventure like no other!
