An End to Modernity
Josiah Elheny

Designed in collaboration with CCAPP scientist David Weinberg, McElheny's sculpture traces the 14 billion year history of the expanding universe. The central aluminum sphere, lamps, and glass pieces depict the last scattering surface, the rise and fall of the quasar population, and the growth, transformation, and clustering of galaxies.

First exhibited at the Wexner Center for the Arts, An End to Modernity is now in the collection of the Tate Modern gallery in London.

Come visit the Physics Research Building Mezzanine to see it on display along with The Last Scattering Surface

Ohio State joins the IceCube Collaboration

Led by Prof. James Beatty and CCAPP postdocs Carsten Rott and Mike Stamatikos, OSU has joined the IceCube experiment, a 1 cubic km detector that uses the Antarctic ice cap as a high energy neutrino telescope (http://icecube.wisc.edu/). The physics and astronomy done at IceCube will be greatly enhanced by CCAPP's ongoing collaborative efforts in astroparticle physics.
