More about this course
  • The more we learn about how the universe works, the more we realise how much we dont know.
  • On this course, you will answer these questions and more. You will delve into the deepest and darkest mysteries of the cosmos, and come out the other side with up-to-date knowledge of the latest thinking in cosmology and astronomy.
  • Alongside Profesor Tomotsugu Goto at National Tsing Hua University, you will learn about the Lambda Cold Dark Matter (CDM) Model and dark energy, seeing why astronomers are fascinated by these topics.
  • You will explore how dark energy is accelerating the expansion of the universe but we dont know why or how. You will study how dark energy makes up 25% of the energy in the universe but we dont know what it is.
  • Black holes are some of the most mysterious entities in the universe. You will identify what they really are, and what we know about them, getting an overview of Newton and Einsteins theories of gravity and gravitational lensing, and how they are being updated.
  • Ultimately, you will come away with a basic understanding of what we have left to discover about the universe including how it began and how it might end and what astronomers are doing to attempt to solve these great mysteries.
