Cosmology and Elementary Particle Physics: Coral Gables Conference on Cosmology and Elementary Particle Physics

From Book News, Inc.
We now know that there is another kind of matter, which produces another kind of gravity: whereas the matter we know attracts, the other matter, called quintessence, repulses. The 30th assembly of the Conference concentrated on what this mysterious quintessence is and how the competition between the opposite forces of gravity causes the expansion of the universe. It was marked by the largest number of young physicists to date, an emphasis on those subjects of high-energy physics dominated by gravitational processes, and the first of regular sessions on how international terrorism may be affecting physics.

Book Description
This conference focused on gravitation, and other weakly coupled forces along with unification pertaining to electromagnetism, weak and strong interactions. Among the most important concepts are expansion of the universe and the recent observations referred to as "the expansion with increased acceleration." Furthermore, total matter content of the universe does not just consist of ordinary matter, but it is presumed that new concepts of dark energy and dark matter are advanced to explain the detailed nature of the universe. Some of the important topics that were discussed at the conference were a quartet of attractive and repulsive forces, the cosmological constant and its role in the accelerated expansion of the universe, fermions mass hierarchy, Anti de Sitter/Conformal Field Theory, the study of neutrinos in several experimental and theoretical contexts, CP violations in a number of systems, and evidence for black holes from several key experiments.
