Consequences of Cosmic Acceleration

• Coincidences: cosmic epochs in perspective
• pecision ignorance: cosmic pie chart

• vacuum energy and quintessence
• recent data: SNLS team Hubble diagram, cosmo parameters (Sullivan et al 2011)
  Pan-STARRS Hubble diagram, Omega_Lambda vs Omega_matter (Rest et al 2013)
• the Big Rip
• reactions to it: Woody Allen, David Letterman
• future efforts to measure it
  ground-based: Dark Energy Survey, LSST
  space-based: WFIRST, Euclid
