Description



One half of the 2019 Physics Nobel Prize was awarded to James Peebles “for theoretical discoveries in physical cosmology”. In this talk, I will review what id currently known about the history of our Universe, from the first few fractions of a second after the Big Bang until the present day, highlighting the pivotal role of James Peebles in building what is known as the standard cosmological paradigm. I will also present some of the most important open problems in physical cosmology, such as the nature of dark matter, dark energy and inflation.
