Revising the Age of the Universe - Dr. Rajendra Gupta, DSPod 189

Dr. Rajendra Gupta is a cosmologist and professor of physics at the University of Ottawa. He has dedicated his work to making sense of images from the new James Webb telescope that appear to contradict the established Big Bang timeline for the universe. Dr. Gupta's explains the recently observed mature galaxies at just 300 million years post-Bang by revising the age of the universe and invoking forsaken ideas like variable constants and tired light. The task remains to explain the cause of this variation. Tell us your ideas in the comments! (00:00:00) Go! (00:00:19) Raj Gupta in the press

When not talking to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time painting, reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Shilo also did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of molecular water. When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various universities. - Blog: http://DemystifySci.com/blog - RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rss - Donate: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaD - Swag: https://bit.ly/2PXdC2y SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/ - Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySci MUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671
