  • Please, people, don't take that century-old debate here, cursing and being disrespectful to others are very unprofessional. anyway, congrats to the scientists who won the Nobel Prize!

  • These videos make me regret being a lazy sod at school, I wish I had a job like this.

  • Too short!

  • I love physicists. "Yeah the guy was a nice buddy of mine." So modest and friendly to each other.

  • cosmic mold 2:07

  • The guy has the same pronunciation as Feynman.

  • @dojokonojo Prior to this evidence it was thought that the Big Bang occurred in a kind of ballistic way, and that the attraction of gravity would be found to be slowing the expansion. They were attempting to measure the slowing, but instead they found a speeding up.

    The observations prompted cosmologists to invent Dark Energy to explain the apparent acceleration, around 1999.

    Dark matter was first observed in the 1930s and taken seriously when rediscovered in the 1980s.

  • When was it discovered that the expansion of the Universe is accelerating, since it seems to me we have always thought that it was? Also when was dark matter and dark energy first suggest? I think I am too young to remember an era when we thought otherwise.

  • @ilikechess1 Really? Ctrl + F.

  • @muntheraqel Fuck Islam. Kos Omak Mohhammad.
