SUMMARY:The Planck Satellite Results: a Universe So Big\, but So Simple?
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Julien Lesgourgues\, CERN\,  Geneva\, and EPFL\, Laus
	anne\nHosted by: Martin Schmaltz\nPoster: http://physics.bu.edu/posters/201
	3_Fall/1022_Lesgourgues.pdf\n\nPart of the Physics Department Colloquia Ser
	ies.\n\nAbstract: The first cosmological data released from the Planck sate
	llite have provided several new and independent precision tests of the stan
	dard cosmological model and are playing a role similar to that played by LE
	P (Large Electron-Positron Collider) for the standard model of particle phy
	sics. I will review the implications of these Planck data for cosmology and
	 particle physics and discuss the status of possible indications for new ph
	ysics\, as well as possible anomalies. After two decades of observations of
	 anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background\, it seems that mankind un
	derstands the large-scale universe well beyond the expectations of the most
	 optimistic physicists of the mid-XXth century."
