Adam Riess
Adam Riess is an American astrophysicist known for his groundbreaking work in observational cosmology. He played a pivotal role in the discovery of the accelerating expansion of the universe, for which he, along with colleagues Saul Perlmutter and Brian Schmidt, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2011. Riess's research primarily focuses on measuring the rate of expansion of the universe using Type Ia supernovae as 'standard candles.' His recent work indicates significant changes in the dynamics of dark energy, suggesting that gravitational forces may be overpowering dark energy's influence, which has implications for the ultimate fate of the cosmos.
