as posted by the channel

Is the universe as old as we think it is? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice explain dark matter, the tired light hypothesis, and fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background with cosmologist, David Spergel.

What happens when dark matter falls into a black hole? We explore vacuum energy, dark energy, and Hawking Radiation. Learn about the resurrection of the tired light hypothesis, redshifting, and whether it changes our understanding of the age of the universe. We also break down the shape of the universe and our cosmic microwave background.
