Theorists speculate that this landmark event was caused by the birth of the first galaxies. Can powerful telescopes, probing back in cosmic history, directly witness this event? Large telescopes have already traced the evolutionary history of galaxies back to when the Universe was 1 billion years old. The first results from a new infrared camera onboard the Hubble Space Telescope give us our first glimpse of primitive stellar systems at even earlier times. Professor Ellis will address the progress and challenges of this fundamental quest for our origins, and discuss the future prospects with the next generation of giant 30-40 meter aperture ground-based telescopes.

E=mc2 says the energy etc was always around

why take for granted that there is this expanding from a center, what if the "universe" was a dandelion or field of them blown a direction and on the other side of something there is a pull or a image of shrinking. What if instead of an explosion from the center as a start of everything it was a sideswiping explosion, explosion in relation to objects or forces which there would be no lingering light of or evidence.

Yet another moronic dinasoar with list of plagarised papers and awards bequeathed by plagarists just like him. What these people are being paid for is beyond me. They are clearly a hinderence to scientific progress. Claims he knows it all, and yet offers no conclusions to the super massive mathematic fudge factor which is clearly wrong by order of magnitude of ten. Fool. Absolute nonsense. He's said nothing new he's just blabbering on about the same moronic garbage they all plagarise from eachother, and boasting about the billions of dollars he and his cronies continue to waste so they can all blabber on about the same old nonsense in the same boring old way... he even has the ordacity to actually say it.. Dark energy .. dark matter, etc.. "The reason we astronomers use these terms is because it's very good for getting funding" OUTRAGEOUS!!! They are just bamboozling the public to line their own pockets and should all be sacked!
