Particle theory advances over the last century have allowed scientists to understand the origin and structure of the universe on the largest scales. Byron Philhour gave a presentation to discuss how developments in particle physics can explain phenomena on cosmic scales, such as the origin and evolution of the universe. He explained that the four fundamental forces - strong nuclear, weak nuclear, electromagnetic and gravity - emerged from the small scale of particles and quantum mechanics to shape the universe on the largest scales.
