Triumphs and Challenges for Modern Cosmology - James Peebles

Join James Peebles, one of the world's foremost cosmologists, as he explores the universe. Like fossils, thermal radiation carries information about the past, in this case the nature of the early universe. This information has confirmed ideas about the expanding universe, and it has presented us with new challenges. In particular, dark matter and dark energy.

RabidApe, I appreciate that you take the time to find these studies and upload them and all that, but I really don't think people will look at hour long videos when you put them up so frequently.

[RabidApe]

yeah...

But it's really not much trouble at all, as I've watched all of them in the past week or so.

They are also not going anywhere.

And I'm not feeling particularly "creative" this past week. I think I'm still unwinding from freshly-relieved tension post-semester.

lol, but even I thought this last one was maybe getting excessive...

[ShinobuHarvester]

Thank you for mirroring this. I doubt I would have found it if you did not.

This is a good lecture and it is great to be able to access them via youtube, I'm a little confused though as to why you'd bother uploading a video that UCtelevision has already uploaded.

Save time post a link from your home page.

Anyone ever think that the rules of the universe are constantly changing? I guess the guy blowing up the balloon is god :P I've never heard anything like this before but listening to it was interesting, what didn't go directly over my head, hah Brilliant.

Excellent video, I'm glad I lived to see the 21st century!

RabidApe, kudos, man! you are mirroring some excellent videos for people to watch who may never learn this information otherwise. pay no heed to these people who complain about the excessive length, it's very simple; there are thousands of short videos for those who may feel that these are not for them. for those of us who actually enjoy learning, this is great entertainment, keep it up!

I find Rabid Ape's stuff more fun and entertaining than these lecture videos but entertainment and popularity isn't the motivation behind these educational videoes

Personally I can't listen to a long rant put forth by anyone but I spend many hours with these lectures. having no formal education such materials of of real importance.

So it just comes down to taste and interest, doesn't it?

awesome vid, cheers man.

Ah yes, I was speaking for people in general. Not all people are like you. Take me for example, I have seen ALL of TheAmazingAtheist's videos, even the 1 hour and some times 2 hours long videos. (I usually just listens to the long ones in bed before I sleep).

I was just pointing it out that when someone posts hour long videos of other people, a lot of people tend to not click the videos.

Whatever, maybe I'm just stupid :P
