Dr. Gary Hinshaw, Canada Research Chair in Observational Cosmology, seeks to answerprofound 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?

Gary Hinshaw博士，加拿大观测宇宙学研究主席，试图回答关于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？
