Keep pulling the thread on Saul Perlmutter.
Saul Perlmutter's Nobel Prize-winning research found, contrary to the prevailing expectation of a slowdown due to gravity, that the expansion of the universe is accelerating.
Saul Perlmutter predicts that key measurements designed to distinguish between different theories of dark energy will be conducted within the next 5 to 10 years.
The discovery of the universe's accelerating expansion was made by two competing research teams who announced their identical findings within weeks of each other, ultimately sharing the Nobel Prize.
Humanity has developed the technical capability to prevent a catastrophic impact on Earth from a comet or asteroid.
Saul Perlmutter estimates that over the past 25 years, a new theoretical paper on dark energy has been published on average every 24 hours.
The research project led by Saul Perlmutter that discovered the accelerating universe was first proposed in 1987 and published its key result in 1998.
