This project aims to discover how the mass of the neutrino affects the evolution of the universe and to use observations of the universe to measure neutrino masses. The project will build a theoretical framework to describe the nonlinear dynamics of cosmological neutrinos. The intended outcome is a set of computational tools that could predict the signatures of neutrino masses in the sky as precisely as upcoming surveys, to discover neutrino masses in the next 10 years. The project should raise Australia's international profile in basic physical science research and answer fundamental questions about the origin of matter, energy and the universe.

该项目旨在发现中微子质量如何影响宇宙的演化，并利用对宇宙的观测来测量中微子质量。该项目将建立一个理论框架来描述宇宙学中微子的非线性动力学。预期的结果是一套计算工具，可以像即将到来的调查一样精确地预测天空中中微子质量的特征，以在未来10年内发现中微子质量。该项目将提高澳大利亚在基础物理科学研究方面的国际形象，并回答有关物质、能量和宇宙起源的基本问题。
