* ABSTRACT
15 years after discovery of the acceleration of the universe, where does our understanding of the physics stand, and what lies ahead? Beyond the equation of state of dark energy there is its dynamics, degrees of freedom, and persistence; beyond characterizing expansion there is gravity and growth of structure. Two new cosmological probes, from mapping the three-dimensional galaxy distribution and measuring CMB lensing, will revolutionize the dark energy landscape and greatly improve tests of cosmology, gravity, and neutrino mass.
