Cosmology and Particle Physics

理论天文学和物理学的研究将集中在宇宙中黑暗（即不发光）物质的性质以及宇宙的大尺度结构上。暗物质是已知存在的，它的性质是一个重要的谜团。已知大尺度结构是块状的，而这种块状结构是如何从非常均匀的早期宇宙中发展出来的，这是另一个重要的谜题。

Research in theoretical astronomy and physics will focus on the nature of the dark (i.e., non-luminous) matter in the universe, and on the large-scale structure of the universe. The dark matter is known to exist, and its nature is an important puzzle. The large-scale structure is known to be lumpy, and the question of how this lumpy structure grew out of the very homogeneous early universe is another important puzzle.
