The 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics recognizes both theoretical and experimental contributions to understanding the universe. Half of the prize is awarded to James Peebles of Princeton University for his theoretical insights into physical cosmology that have impacted the trajectory of cosmology research for the past 50 years and form the basis of the current ideas about the universe.
The other half of the prize is awarded jointly to Michel Mayor (University of Geneva) and Didier Queloz (University of Geneva; University of Cambridge) for the first discovery of an exoplanet orbiting a solar-type star in the Milky Way in 1995.
The talk will be focused on the contribution of Peebles for his role in decoding the cosmic microwave background leading to the current understanding of the shape of the universe and its curious makeup components.
