This course explores the mystery of dark energy in cosmology, delving into the anti-gravitational force that challenges conventional physics laws. Participants will investigate clues to this mystery from the earliest moments of the universe to its distant future. The course covers topics such as the geometry of space, inflation, Einstein's equations, expansion of the universe, observational evidence, and the hunt for dark energy. The teaching method includes lectures and discussions led by top physicists in the field. This course is intended for individuals interested in cosmology, physics, and the mysteries of the universe.
