One of the deepest mysteries in physical science is the origin of the apparent accelerated expansion of the universe. The generic term given to what appears to be an "anti-gravity" for the cosmos is "dark energy". Helping create the optimal experiments on the ground and in space to explore the nature of dark energy and thereby possibly understand what it is is our current goal. We will do this by measuring the expansion history of the universe over much of its lifetime. You can find out more about what Penn is doing on these projects here.
