Marek Kowalski Testing Dark Energy with Supernovae Bonn, 23.10.2009 Conclusion The observed acceleration of the Universe poses one of the most fundamental problems in physics today. So far everything looks consistent with cosmological constant. Detailed measurement of the dynamics can give insights into the acceleration meachanisms.
