Cosmic Knowledge and the Long-term Strategy of the Human Race. Modern astronomy has succeeded remarkably well in explaining the cosmic origins of the human race -- how the Galaxy was assembled, how the Sun and Earth were formed, and where the precious chemical elements that comprise our planet came from. For the first time in history, the human race is poised to use that knowledge of the cosmic past to predict Earth's cosmic future, and it looks extraordinarily bright ahead.
Speaker: Sandra Faber helped to discover dark matter in the Universe, and co-invented the standard paradigm for galaxy formation based on it. She received the National Medal of Science in February 2013 from President Obama and the Gruber Prize in Cosmology in October 2017.
