Did the Big Bang Happen More Than Once? Brian Keating, Paul Davies & Maulik Parikh (#387)
Jan 17, 2024
Astronomer and physicist Brian Keating hosts a podcast featuring astrobiologist Paul Davies and physicist Maulik Parikh. They discuss alternative theories challenging the Big Bang, the expansion rate of the universe, cosmic origins, and the BICEP experiment. They also explore the uncertainties and different views of the universe, progress in detectors for measuring the cosmic microwave background, bouncing models, pollution in the universe, and the search for B-modes signals. Additionally, they delve into subtracting foreground dust, examining the inflationary signal, and the concept of the multiverse. The podcast concludes with a discussion on the implications of the Big Bang and an ad for the Jordan Harbinger Show.
