Description
On June 24 - July 1 2009, the Perimeter Institute will be hosting a Summer School on Particle Physics, Cosmology and Strings. This summer school will be the 7th of an ongoing series offered by the Perimeter Institute, in conjunction with the Pacific Institute for Theoretical Physics, the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences and the Asia-Pacific Institute for Theoretical Physics.
This year's edition will focus on early universe cosmology, dark matter and gravitational wave physics. The school will include a series of lectures on each of these topics, as well as guest lectures on key open problems in the field.

The initial conditions of our Universe can be summarized on a single sheet of paper. Yet the Universe is full of complex structures today, such as stars, galaxies and groups of galaxies. I will describe how complexity emerged in the form of the first stars out of the simple initial state of the Universe at early cosmic times. The future of the Universe is even more surprising. Over the past decade it was realized that the cosmic expansion has been accelerating. If this accelerated expansion will continue into the future, then within a hundred billion years there will be no galaxies left for us to observe within the cosmic horizon except one: the merger product between our own Milky Way galaxy and its nearest neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy.
