A History of the Universe

Dr. Rob Knop

In the beginning was the Big Bang. Or maybe there was. It's really hard to say. But we do know that somewhere shortly after that there was this thing called Inflation, followed by all kinds of crazy fundamental physics transitions in the Universe. For a few hundred thousand years, the Universe was Plasma. Fast forward 13.7 billion years, and you have all of us here wondering what the heck is going on. Drop by for an overview of everything that has happened, everywhere, always.
