What I cannot quite wrap my mind around is how, the Universe having begun in a place and expanded outward, we see the earliest evidence of it wrapped around us. The CMB occuring just 380 million years later, should be closer to that point of origin; we, living at a much later time and looking backwards in time to see it, must be exterior to it, yet we can see it in any direction we choose to look around us?
Space is relative, whether your standing on Earth, or the next galaxy over, your going to see the same exact stuff around you. Just like you, yourself, through your eyes seems to you that you are the center of wherever you are, the same goes for space. I don't know, maybe your a robot, but this understanding has been fundamental, natural knowledge for every living being on this Earth, you couldn't survive and hunt without this intuition. Weird.
Yes, it is rather mind-boggling. It has been suggested by some that the original "center" of the universe should be more of a huge void - because everything blasted out from one point. This might be our human perception of very large explosions here on Earth. However, this (relatively micro) idea neglects later gravitational effects which would eventually re-stock any very large voids. The observable universe from our particular position is quite limited - maybe between only 5 - 10% of what might constitute the universe as a whole. But look for instance, at the Boötes Void :0) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bo%C3%B6tes_void
I'm taking notes all right . Sandra Faber caught my attention on Steven Hawking's early video series, and that led me to this lecture. Fantastic insight. I have more work to do.
Yes you do have alot more work to do. Getting your Iq above 3 would be a great staring point. So let me get this straight. Long ago and far away...a big bang filled with absolutely nothing...exploded or expanded...using energy that came from absolutely nowhere....and made everything in space and beyond???? Are you okay??? Im asking cause that is totally laughable, illogical.....dull and boring nonsense any THOUGHTFUL PERSON would laugh at. Not done yet After the nothing made everything in space without oxygen, some rain that came from no oxygen started raining on the rocks...after millions of years ,...a MUTATED ATROCITIE of some sort kinda crawled, flew, slithered or jumped out of ,.....》some fucking SOUP 《 are you seriously thinking thats called science??? Thats not intelligent at all
It is very interesting that quantum mechanics is so key to cosmology; our galaxy is traced small quantum fluctuations (10-33 cm), early on (10-35 sec). The big picture in cutting-edge cosmology may portray a multiverse. Fascinating!
It is a scalar (simple number) term in Einstein's equations of general relativity. That's pretty much all we know about it, at the moment. That it is an energy term follows from the dimensional analysis of the equations.
Thanks for a great lecture.

I cant believe these lectures are available for free online. More please!
Well there is some taxpayers money going into funding. But yes. Keep it coming.
MWcrazyhorse Of course that is what government should be funding. Who else would.

She is so easy to listen to.

All I keep thinking is where the hell did the “lumps” come from? I understand accretion but where did all the crap come from in the first place?
"Primordial Soup" refers to how life began, long, long after galaxies formed SMH
Does dark energy compute in the same way as E = MC2? Or is dark energy not that kind of energy?
