 ty.\n\nDoors open at 7pm ET\, talk starts at 7:30pm ET.\n\nLocation: Leaco
 ck Building\, Room 132\, McGill University (855 Sherbrooke St W\, Montreal
 \, Quebec H3A 2T7).\n\n* Open to everyone\, no prior knowledge of physics

 our universe is expanding from a hot dense state. So what does this expans
 ion mean? what is the evidence? and how can we be so sure of it? I will of
 fer answers to these questions and a related one. If the evidence is so go
 od why can't we identify the dark matter that is central to our theory of 
 the expanding universe? I will argue that the expanding universe theory is
  well and convincingly established\, but all our science has open question
 s that require work\; dark matter is an example. This is the excitement of
  scientific research.\n\n**The annual Anna I. McPherson Lectures series in
  Physics were established in honour of Anna Isobel McPherson\, a member of
  the McGill Physics Faculty from 1940 until her death in 1979. Over her lo
 ng association with the Department of Physics\, Anna McPherson made import
 ant contributions in teaching\, research\, and counselling\, helping and t
 eaching a very large number of students. The McPherson lecture series was 
 established to acknowledge her outstanding generosity and her many valued 
 academic contributions. The mandate of these lectures is to bring a distin
 guished physicist to McGill each year to give two lectures\, one of which 
 is a lecture for the general public.**\n
