Afterglow: Dispatches from the Birth of the Universe
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
Cosmology is the one field in which researchers can—literally—witness the past. The cosmic background radiation, ancient light streaming toward us since the Big Bang, provides a pristine window onto the birth and evolution of the universe. Already, the radiation has been key to confirming an early explosive expansion of space, determining the geometric shape of the universe and identifying seeds that resulted in galaxies. Now, the cosmic background radiation is poised to reveal when the first stars formed, what happened in the fraction of a second after the Big Bang, and the answers to a host of other bold questions about the cosmos.

Lawrence makes stupid little jokes.
-
Proved = 101 ALLAH (s.w.t)
-
such absolutely brilliant human beings thank you to all on the panel especially mr, Lawrence Krauss my favorite physicist of all time,
-
What's up with these comments? xD
They are trolls right? -
=== THE universe / space can NOT have an end. It's called infinity. Check the new movie - "The Principle"
-
So we came from a white hole? I mean right.. Something so large and dense shrunk to a singularity then inflating suddenly expanding gas/matter... Definition of a white hole, correct?
-
I'm no scientist, though they say the waves are"micro", would it be possibly with computation to allow for an extended display of the waves as they were at the time of the big bang. Would that give a more logical display or picture of what we want to see? Is it even possible or plausible I suppose?
-
1000+ views on this is enough to make me ill. What is wrong with our society???
-
We love you Lawrence.

This is flat earth thinking. There was no big bang, the universe is infinite, it had no beginning. CBR is a process not an effect. It's the wrong temp for what the flat earthers try to use it for. Try Infinite Wave Theory. It makes a hell of a lot more sense, accounts for dark energy and dark matter and makes black holes simple. It is simple, as it should be. It doesn't require singularities or magic bullshit or membranes:) Big bang is religion, not science.

They are so wrong...if radiation comes to us from around and the same distance to the horizon is 13.8 bilion light years around us it would mean that we are at exect center of universe but we are not !!!...so the conclusion is universe can not be 13.8 bly old must be older than that and bigger than that isnt it logic ???

This is a great series. And I really like the short guy in tennis shoes with the bad t-shirt and leather jacket who is so into it he doesn't care how he looks. Enthusiasm is refreshing--its not about him, my dear Peta Flux, my darling Lowfun.

Wow...such nerd much space.. <3

Good job, +World Science Festival . You know you're a good channel when you start attracting coward trolls who disable replies on their posted comments. -
This was before the Plank results came in ... I am curious of what would this panel had said about it.
Great conference none the less. -
Ancient light from the big bang = bullshit.
Can't see the stars with the naked eye once outside the earths atmosphere.
Light = instant.
big bang lying motherfuckers.
