Adam Riess

Adam Riess is an astrophysicist known for his groundbreaking work on the expansion of the universe. He played a key role in discovering that the universe is not just expanding, but that this expansion is accelerating, driven by a mysterious force called dark energy. By studying distant supernovae, Riess and his team provided strong evidence for this acceleration, fundamentally changing our understanding of the cosmos. His research helps explain the large-scale structure of the universe and contributes to our efforts to uncover the nature of dark energy and its role in the fate of the universe.
