The Universe left behind a fossil from its first moments
In short: Professor Joseph Silk explores how we can observe the earliest stages of the universe. This lecture uses the Cosmic Microwave Background to reveal what happened just after the Big Bang.
The lecture focuses on the Cosmic Microwave Background as a primary source of information regarding the universe's infancy. By analyzing this radiation, scientists can reconstruct the conditions of the earliest moments of existence.
The presentation is part of a long-standing tradition at Gresham College, which has provided free public lectures since 1597. The institution aims to foster a deeper understanding of the world through high-quality education accessible to the public.
