Actually Hubble initially calculated the age of the universe to be 1.8 billion years.

[619badazz13]

god made it witht the big bang

[mattspsmith]

you must have some kind of awesome English friend to produce that accent...

[sciencerapper]

@mattspsmith indeed I do have an awesome English friend but I'm not sure he would endorse the accent. Anyway I'm hoping the guitar-playing skills or the quick wit will rub off, not the accent.

[breadbutt]

this is amazing. I really hope you re-record this with better equipment and an experienced sound production person. it's really awesome but with just a little polish could be 100 times MORE awesome.

[bachaBahal]

Hubble 4 ever! Or at least until heat death.

[Khu827]

FYI, I think the "old poem" refers to Robert Frost's "Fire and Ice."

[sciencerapper]

@Khu827 Indeed it is.

For a much longer (and unbelievably better) explanation of redshifts, Edwin Hubble, and cosmology check out MIT's YouTube page and look for Lec 35 of class 8.02 (no hlinks in comments). Walter Lewin is fantastic. I even stole his ending which includes reading Frost's poem.

Sickest science rap since Junk Science dropped knowledge with Sixpoint.
