Ever since the 20th century, the theories researchers use to describe the Universe at small and large scales—from the Standard Model of particle physics to general relativity—have proven incredibly successful. Yet, such theories remain incompatible with one another and carry their own limitations. In order to better understand the Universe at all scales, leading experts have established the Max Planck-IAS-NTU Center (MPC) for Particle Physics, Cosmology, and Geometry—a collaborative research initiative between the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science (MPG) in Germany; the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in Princeton, NJ, USA; and National Taiwan University (NTU) in Taipei, Taiwan... more
