At this conference, both particle physicists and cosmologists presented exciting new results, from experiments that determine with unprecedented accuracy whether the universe is spatially flat, whether it is accelerating and what the nature of the dark matter could be, to more speculative ideas about its origin, based on theories of particle physics which might be confirmed or disproved in the not too distant future. This conference convinced everyone that we are truly living in the Golden Age of Cosmology.
