Dr. Gary Hinshaw, Canada Research Chair in Observational Cosmology, seeks to answer*profound questions about the origin and fate of our universe. In the past decade, he *and colleagues measured the age of the universe (13.8 billion years) and established *that its contents are dominated by dark matter and dark energy. To the best of our *knowledge, the universe will expand forever at an ever-increasing rate. Hinshaw is building two new radio telescopes in Canada to address two outstanding enigmas in cosmology: Did cosmic inflation really occur? What is the nature of the dark energy that dominates the universe?*

加拿大观测宇宙学研究主席加里·欣肖博士试图回答有关宇宙起源和命运的深刻问题。在过去的十年里，他和他的同事测量了宇宙的年龄（138亿年），并确定了宇宙的主要成分是暗物质和暗能量。据我们所知，宇宙将永远以不断增长的速度膨胀。欣肖正在加拿大建造两台新的射电望远镜，以解决宇宙学中两个突出的谜题：宇宙膨胀真的发生过吗？主宰宇宙的暗能量的本质是什么？＊
