	2019-03-20: Is Dark Energy Getting Stronger? 01:38: They were measuring the distances to supernovae to track the changing size of the expanding universe. 03:54: The expansion history of the universe is typically measured using the same type of supernova observations that first discovered dark energy. 04:14: ... our telescope, we can figure out pretty precisely how far away the supernova was when it ... 04:25: Type 1a supernovae are what we call standard candles – objects of known brightness that can be used to find distance. 04:33: If we have lots of supernovae at different distances when we have a set of rulers spanning both time and space. 04:40: The most distant supernova we’ve seen is so far away that its light has been traveling to us for around 75% of the age of the universe. 05:21: It may be an issue with how we determine the starting conditions of the universe, or it may be our measurements of supernovae. 05:44: ... reliable than our measurement of its subsequent expansion history via supernovae. ... 05:55: Part of the reason for that is that supernovae aren’t bright enough to see through ALL of cosmic history. 06:03: We miss the first 25%, and we’ve found too few supernovae over the first 50% of cosmic time. 09:46: Fortunately there are a LOT of quasars out there – far more than known supernovae. 12:59: In fact there are alternative ideas that try to resolve the conflict between the CMB, supernova, and now the quasar results. 13:27: ... a systematic problem with the way supernova and/or quasar distances are determined, or even an issue with the cosmic ...
	2019-02-07: Sound Waves from the Beginning of Time 11:00: Dark energy was first discovered by using distant supernovae as distance measurements- to track the rate of expansion of the universe. 12:06: The baryon acoustic oscillations agree with and confirm what we measure using supernovae distances- The expansion of the universe is accelerating.

	2019-01-09: Are Dark Matter And Dark Energy The Same? 01:52: Observations of distant supernovae tell us that the expansion of the universe is accelerating. 10:23: First, does it predict an expansion history that fits the supernova observations that originally discovered dark energy? 10:31: Those supernova results suggest a universe that started expanding rapidly and then slowed down due to the gravity of matter – mostly dark matter. 10:57: That’s hard to fit to the supernova data. 11:25: But a constant or near-constant expansion rate definitely does not fit the supernova data.

Because they didn't consider the supernova data alone, and nor should we. 07:28: Those blue ovals represent the ranges of combinations of matter and dark energy that are consistent with the new supernova measurements. 08:07: ... if we consider the supernova data by itself, represented by these contours there appears to be a ... 08:52: That alone rules out the region of the supernova results that suggests there's no dark energy. 08:58: Now this was known in the late 90's, which is why the first supernova results were taken seriously. 10:24: That little region where the supernova and CMB results overlap represents the most likely combination of dark energy and matter.
	2016-10-19: The First Humans on Mars 10:42: Those seeds may have been from the very first generation of supernovae, near the beginning of the universe.

	2016-08-03: Can We Survive the Destruction of the Earth? ft. Neal Stephenson 03:28: But in the case of a big asteroid impact or a nearby supernova, it could come with so little warning that we might not have time to do much about it. 08:25: A supernova explosion within 30 light years would destroy the ozone layer, leading to a horrible hard ultraviolet bath and the worst sunburn ever. 08:40: For example, a huge amount of smoggy nitrogen oxide would blanket the planet, causing a supernova winter. 08:47: Fortunately, we know for sure that there are no stars ready to go supernova within any dangerous distance. 08:58: ... a very massive star goes supernova, the resulting collapse of the core into a neutron star, or black hole, ... 09:44: No planetary surface or space ark in the solar system would be safe from a supernova or a gamma ray burst. 10:09: ... and start colonizing the galaxy beyond the 30-light-year range of a supernova and beyond the width of a typical gamma ray burst death ...

	2016-04-06: We Are Star Stuff 00:00: ... forged in violent stellar alchemy and spread through the galaxy in past supernovae. ... 07:24: ... star and ricochet back in the largest explosion in the universe, a supernova. ... 07:49: All of the main ingredients of your own body were fusion shells in past supernovae. 08:06: Until recently, it was thought that most naturally occurring elements heavier than iron were produced in that supernova explosion itself. 08:42: But was that explosion necessarily a typical supernova? 09:04: This is also seen as a supernova, and it also laces the galaxy with heavy elements. 09:16: ... including a lot of the gold in the universe, were formed not in a supernova, but in the collision of two neutron ...
	2016-03-30: Pulsar Starquakes Make Fast Radio Bursts? + Challenge Winners! 01:11: ... various types of cataclysmic events, like colliding stellar remnants, supernovae, neutron stars collapsing into black holes, crazy stuff like ...
	2016-02-24: Why the Big Bang Definitely Happened 05:46: ... star formation but poor in the heavy elements released by generations of supernovae. ...
	2016-02-17: Planet X Discovered?? + Challenge Winners! 07:12: ... the same time, supernovae that are moving away from us due to the expansion of the universe appear ...
	2016-02-11: LIGO's First Detection of Gravitational Waves! 04:14: We'll also spot supernova explosions that produce neutron stars. 06:13: ... holes and neutron stars, as well as the formation of neutron stars and supernova ...
	2015-12-09: How to Build a Black Hole 01:18: Just wait a few million years for the supernova. 02:09: The collapsing outer shells ricochet off this impossibly dense nugget in a supernova explosion, enriching the galaxy with juicy new elements.
	2015-11-05: Why Haven't We Found Alien Life? 09:48: ... the epoch of life in a universe abundant in the rich resources of past supernova explosions, but after the violence of the starburst and quasar ...
