2019-08-06: What Caused the Big Bang?

  • 00:00: Every astronomy textbook tells us that soon after the Big Bang there was this period of exponentially accelerating expansion called Cosmic Inflation.
  • 03:04: Now, we know that something like this exists because we've observed it in the accelerating expansion produced by dark energy.

2019-01-09: Are Dark Matter And Dark Energy The Same?

  • 02:33: So why does it result in an outward-pushing, accelerating expansion?
  • 03:42: And a positive Lambda means accelerating expansion.
  • 10:40: But then that deceleration turned around as dark energy kicked in, resulting in the current accelerating expansion.

2018-10-03: How to Detect Extra Dimensions
