YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWhat is the Big Bang? On this mashup of StarTalk's best explanations, Neil deGrasse Tyson takes a deep dive into the early days of our universe and the Big Bang theory.
Is the Big Bang a misnomer? Should we rename it? Find out about the steady-state hypothesis and when the big bang became the prevailing theory for the origin of the universe. How much noise did it make? We explore how technology has helped us gain greater understanding of our hypotheses.
What’s the difference between a theory, a law, and a hypothesis? Learn where Einstein’s theories begin to break down. Why wasn’t there enough pressure to make anything heavier than Hydrogen and Helium in the Big Bang? What is the boundary of the universe? What happened before the Big Bang? Is there any way we can create a virtual singularity? All that, plus appearances by Dr. Funkyspoon, Carter Emmart, Paul Mecurio, and, of course, Chuck Nice.
