Episode notes

This chapter delves into the precision of current cosmological measurements, highlighting discrepancies in data from cosmic microwave background radiation and Type 1A supernovae. It discusses the uncertainty surrounding the Hubble constant's value, differences in early versus late universe physics, and the origin of the universe from a point of singularity. The chapter also explores the detection of inflationary imprints in the universe, the impact of gravitational waves on the microwave background, and the pursuit of understanding the universe's origin through experimental observations.

Enjoy this thorough conversation between me and the one and only Jordan Peterson, in which we discuss many long-standing cosmological theories, from the Big Bang to the expansion of the universe, and why we might be completely wrong… about everything!

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson is a renowned Canadian psychologist, best-selling author, public speaker, media commentator, and podcast host. He has lectured at prestigious universities, published numerous scientific papers, and developed online programs to help individuals explore their personalities and improve their lives.
