Could the universe's oldest light reveal its very first moments?
In short: Professor Brian Keating explores how analyzing the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background might unlock secrets of the Big Bang, identify the true nature of dark matter, and explain why we haven't met extraterrestrial life.
This technique could provide unprecedented insights into the earliest moments of the Big Bang, potentially revealing clues about its origins.
Beyond cosmology, Keating discusses current leading theories regarding what dark matter actually is and offers a perspective on why we may not find aliens in the cosmos.
