The History of Cosmology

The goal of physics is to understand the universe. Every idea we've had about the universe has been proven wrong, except for the current one. There are quite a few ideas that are out there about how the universe works that are not really quite right but often repeated in popular science presentations. Today on the podcast, I want to talk about why everyone misunderstands cosmology. To help me break this down, our guest and author of a new book exploring the history of cosmology will join us next week.
