Показать описание
Observatory Night, February 20, 2014 at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

In 1964, Robert Wilson and Arno Penzias detected faint whispers of the Big Bang known as the cosmic microwave background. Their find garnered a Nobel Prize in 1978.

Join us on Thursday to hear Wilson describe how they made their discovery. He will be joined by three other expert panelists: Alan Guth, who will discuss the Big Bang and cosmic inflation; Robert Kirshner, who will address dark energy and the accelerating universe; and Avi Loeb, who will transport us to the end of everything.

Not sure how I ended up here, but in my previous universe this was the most watched video on CosmicTube.
