Invisible Universe

29 June 2009

The essential is invisible to our eyes... astronomy and astrophysics and in particular modern cosmology have shown that most of the universe is invisible to our eyes and to the most advanced observational devices. What is dark matter and dark energy? These are the two big questions, which for their complexity and depth, broad scientific impact and beyond (several of these questions in modern astronomy strongly influence artists and philosophers as well) are the subject of the events entitled "Invisible Universe" which will take place at UNESCO Headquarters from 29 June to 10 July 2009.
