Description
The universe originated in a Big Bang about 13.7 billion years ago. As we look deep into the universe, we see that the most distant objects are moving away from us much faster than nearby objects, and through careful measurement, we have been able to determine the expansion rate of the universe. This has informed our Big Bang cosmology. In this class, you will learn about how to measure the Big Bang, its after effects, and the age of the universe. You will also be introduced to some of the problems cosmologists still have with our existing models.
