THURSDAY 14 JULY 2022 | 6-7pm BST | 1-2pm EDT | ON-DEMAND   In the beginning was the big bang: an unimaginably hot explosion almost 14 billion years ago from which all the matter in the universe emerged. The physical theory of the hot nascent universe—the big bang—was one of the most consequential developments in 20th-century science. And yet it leaves many questions unanswered. Why is the universe so big? Why is it so old? What is the origin of structure in the cosmos? In this talk, physicist Will Kinney explains a more recent theory that may hold the answers to these questions and even explain the ultimate origins of the universe: eternal cosmic inflation.
