YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Biggest Ideas in the Universe is a series of videos where I talk informally about some of the fundamental concepts that help us understand our natural world. Exceedingly casual, not overly polished, and meant for absolutely everybody.
This is Idea #22, " Cosmology." Perhaps more a field of study than an "idea," but it is made possible by an extremely powerful idea: that our universe is uniform and simple enough to be understandable. We go through the expansion of space, the thermal history of what makes up the universe, and a bit about dark matter and the cosmic microwave background.
