DARK ENERGY MEASURED MORE PRECISELY THAN EVER
Attending the University of Toronto doesn’t make you an academic superstar. I’m living proof of that. Even so, as Canada’s top-ranked university, spending time at U of T does give you the privilege of hanging out with a few of them. I had several eminent professors there.
