What was the origin of the universe and what will be its fate? UCLA Cosmologist Ned Wright describes the tools used to answer these questions. He has been involved in Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), COsmic Background Explorer (COBE), the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), and the Space InfraRed Telescope Facility (SIRTF), now called Spitzer.

  • I stopped watching at the first Power Point slide. I felt like I should be vigorously taking notes, making sure I was ready for next week's test.

    So many profs need to take a presentation course.

  • I have been a research chemist for 28 years because I love science, all science. Cosmology is one of the most fasinating of all the sciences, so it just kills me to sit here and watch another college professor casually glance over topics that are deserving of much greater discussion and in the process turn an interesting topic into something painful to sit through. I can imagine what suffering an undergrad in his class must go through. Does he take away their belts and shoe strings?

  • @balance1200 Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Mūsā ibn Shākir first came up with the idea of what we now call gravity.

  • I think it's sad that you have to go through a man's self-admitted half-done theories, quasi-prove them true or false, and then prance around as though you've proven a man, who admitted nothing that you "disproved" as fact, but only as interesting and relevant, that would likely be the truth, a part of the truth, or a catalyst to the truth; wrong. The pompous disposition is especially annoying. At which part in this lecture did the professor unleash his own brilliance?

  • newton didnt discover gravity ? then who did? I never new that Newton didnt discover gravity

  • A higher resolution would have been nice for this video.
