I always tell my students that school's greatest purpose is to tell you the questions, NOT the answers. If a student has studied cosmology, they have become an interesting person that can now engage in some brilliant convers…
The CMBR discovery was the reason Penzias and Wilson won the Nobel Prize. It truly was that year's greatest scientific discovery. And to think that Robert Dicke was actively looking for it at the same time as their accidenta…
At times I feel that this "intro" to cosmology is almost TOO intro! It's hard to do justice to the complexity of a century of inquiry in just a few minutes. But these episodes are really designed to lead you to the main "pla…
