 ceton University

DESCRIPTION:By using telescopes to look deep into space\, we can see back 
 in time. I will talk about our quest to understand the history of the univ
 erse\, and find out properties such as its ingredients and age. I’ll des
 cribe a conundrum facing astronomers today: our community’s two methods 
 of measuring the rate that space is growing\, and the age of the universe\
 , don’t agree. Have we got something wrong in our understanding of the u
 niverse? I will describe our team's contribution to answering this questio
 n\, using telescopes high in the Chilean desert tuned to measure millimetr
 e-wavelength light coming from the earliest moments in time. By surveying 
 half the sky every couple of days\, we also hope to see new types of astro
 nomical events in distant parts of the universe.
