DESCRIPTION:Prof Richard Bower from Durham University gives a talk on dark
  energy and simulating the universe - see the abstract below for more deta
 ils.\n\nAdmission is free to CUPS members\, or £2 otherwise. As always\, 
 wine and cheese will be served after the talk.\n\n(Abstract:) In my talk I
 'll describe how our understanding of the universe has developed from phys
 ical principles that can be tested here\, on earth.  This has lead to the 
 realisation that Baryonic matter ("normal" matter) is a relatively minor c
 onstituent of the Universe. The great contributors to the energy budget of
  the Universe are Dark Energy and Dark Matter\, and I will spend some of m
 y time exploring what these might be.  The ultimate test of our understand
 ing of the Universe is to be able to re-create it\, and I will finish by p
 resenting some results from the Eagle simulation project\, where we create
  a virtual Universe full of realistic stars and galaxies within the COSMA-
 V super-computer.
