Einstein wrestled with a problem back before we even knew the universe was expanding, and he was looking for a way to keep the universe from collapsing. And so he discovered, in his theory of gravity, something like this dark… — Adam Riess Copy Share Image
One of the most exciting things about dark energy is that it seems to live at the very nexus of two of our most successful theories of physics: quantum mechanics, which explains the physics of the small, and Einstein's Theory… — Adam Riess Copy Share Image
It's everywhere, really. It's between the galaxies. It is in this room. We believe that everywhere that you have space, empty space, that you… — Adam Riess Copy Share Image
We look at distant exploding stars called supernovae, and we've developed techniques to measure how far away they are and how fast they're moving… — Adam Riess Copy Share Image

During my time at Watchung Hills Regional High School, I was fortunate to have a number of teachers who inspired me and filled me… — Adam Riess Copy Share Image
We've known for a long time that the universe is expanding. But about 15 years ago, my colleagues and I discovered that it is… — Adam Riess Copy Share Image
Dark energy is incredibly strange, but actually it makes sense to me that it went unnoticed, because dark energy has no effect on daily… — Adam Riess Copy Share Image
I think the mystery of what's out there in the universe is just very compelling. — Adam Riess Copy Share Image
Until the 1990s, there were few reliable observations about movement at the scale of the entire universe, which is the only scale dark energy… — Adam Riess Copy Share Image
Your chemistry high school teacher lied to you when they told you that there was such a thing as a vacuum, that you could… — Adam Riess Copy Share Image
We know there is gravity because apples fall from trees. We can observe gravity in daily life. If we could throw an apple to… — Adam Riess Copy Share Image
