The Aspen Center for Physics

Physics is the study of the structure of matter and the laws governing matter. It leads to research into the incredibly large and ancient, such as the whole universe; the incredibly small and short-lived, such as quarks inside protons; and everything in between.

Statement of Purpose

The Aspen Center for Physics is a scientific organization which promotes organized research in physics, astrophysics and related fields through a program of individual and collaborative research, seminars, workshops and conferences and which promotes the education of the general public through public lectures and other activities.
