Neutrinos as Nonbaryonic Dark Matter Superkamiokande, an Example of a Neutrino Observatory About 100 neutrinos per cubic cm, throughout space. Mass is about 0.05 eV = 1 / 10,000,000 mass of electron, although some uncertainty. Neutrinos in the Universe have nearly as much mass as all of the stars!

The Acceleration of the Universe Examples of type 1a supernovae Thermonuclear detonation of white dwarf High-redshift supernovae are systematically fainter than expected based on extrapolation of low-redshift sources. Must be further away than expected. So need an effect to overcome the tendency of gravity to slow down the expansion.

Dark Energy in the Universe Cosmic acceleration suggests presence of “dark energy” that drives space apart. This “dark energy” dominates the mass-energy density of the Universe! Supporting evidence comes from studies of the cosmic microwave background, clusters of galaxies, and large-scale structure. What is this “dark energy”? Why is there the observed amount, not much more or much less?

Schematic of Cosmic History

The Future of the Universe We cannot predict the fate of the Universe until we understand dark energy.
