1 00:00:09,630 --> 00:00:59,410 you 2 00:00:59,410 --> 00:00:59,420 3 00:00:59,420 --> 00:01:08,100 you 4 00:01:08,100 --> 00:01:08,110 5 00:01:08,110 --> 00:01:41,200 you 6 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:41,210 7 00:01:41,210 --> 00:01:43,790 how do we go from from the Big Bang 8 00:01:43,790 --> 00:01:43,800 how do we go from from the Big Bang 9 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,680 how do we go from from the Big Bang that's really when you think about it 10 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:45,690 that's really when you think about it 11 00:01:45,690 --> 00:01:47,930 that's really when you think about it very strange situation the universe 12 00:01:47,930 --> 00:01:47,940 very strange situation the universe 13 00:01:47,940 --> 00:01:49,610 very strange situation the universe being very hot and dense and expanding 14 00:01:49,610 --> 00:01:49,620 being very hot and dense and expanding 15 00:01:49,620 --> 00:01:51,110 being very hot and dense and expanding and filling and turning out full of 16 00:01:51,110 --> 00:01:51,120 and filling and turning out full of 17 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,520 and filling and turning out full of galaxies and planets and stars and 18 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:52,530 galaxies and planets and stars and 19 00:01:52,530 --> 00:01:54,560 galaxies and planets and stars and eventually life you know how do we get 20 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:54,570 eventually life you know how do we get 21 00:01:54,570 --> 00:01:56,930 eventually life you know how do we get there how did that happen well something 22 00:01:56,930 --> 00:01:56,940 there how did that happen well something 23 00:01:56,940 --> 00:01:59,090 there how did that happen well something crazy went along to make it happen 24 00:01:59,090 --> 00:01:59,100 crazy went along to make it happen 25 00:01:59,100 --> 00:02:00,950 crazy went along to make it happen because our simple models aren't working 26 00:02:00,950 --> 00:02:00,960 because our simple models aren't working 27 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,560 because our simple models aren't working right now we're missing a step it's like 28 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:03,570 right now we're missing a step it's like 29 00:02:03,570 --> 00:02:06,320 right now we're missing a step it's like a missing link and we give to find the 30 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:06,330 a missing link and we give to find the 31 00:02:06,330 --> 00:02:08,000 a missing link and we give to find the the fossils back there in the early 32 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:08,010 the fossils back there in the early 33 00:02:08,010 --> 00:02:10,040 the fossils back there in the early erase the missing link that will get us 34 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:10,050 erase the missing link that will get us 35 00:02:10,050 --> 00:02:12,440 erase the missing link that will get us from the uniform universe to the 36 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:12,450 from the uniform universe to the 37 00:02:12,450 --> 00:02:18,660 from the uniform universe to the structured universe we have today 38 00:02:18,660 --> 00:02:18,670 39 00:02:18,670 --> 00:02:51,290 you 40 00:02:51,290 --> 00:02:51,300 41 00:02:51,300 --> 00:04:36,750 you 42 00:04:36,750 --> 00:04:36,760 43 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,040 one of the really unique things about 44 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:39,050 one of the really unique things about 45 00:04:39,050 --> 00:04:41,290 one of the really unique things about Kobe is that it's a scientific 46 00:04:41,290 --> 00:04:41,300 Kobe is that it's a scientific 47 00:04:41,300 --> 00:04:44,050 Kobe is that it's a scientific experiment from the very beginning it's 48 00:04:44,050 --> 00:04:44,060 experiment from the very beginning it's 49 00:04:44,060 --> 00:04:46,060 experiment from the very beginning it's like taking the instruments in your 50 00:04:46,060 --> 00:04:46,070 like taking the instruments in your 51 00:04:46,070 --> 00:04:48,190 like taking the instruments in your laboratory or instruments that we flew 52 00:04:48,190 --> 00:04:48,200 laboratory or instruments that we flew 53 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,730 laboratory or instruments that we flew on balloons or in rockets years ago and 54 00:04:50,730 --> 00:04:50,740 on balloons or in rockets years ago and 55 00:04:50,740 --> 00:04:55,030 on balloons or in rockets years ago and putting those into a satellite package 56 00:04:55,030 --> 00:04:55,040 putting those into a satellite package 57 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,060 putting those into a satellite package and essentially moving your laboratory 58 00:04:58,060 --> 00:04:58,070 and essentially moving your laboratory 59 00:04:58,070 --> 00:05:04,320 and essentially moving your laboratory in the space Kobe is attacking a problem 60 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:04,330 in the space Kobe is attacking a problem 61 00:05:04,330 --> 00:05:07,690 in the space Kobe is attacking a problem for which it is very hard to get any 62 00:05:07,690 --> 00:05:07,700 for which it is very hard to get any 63 00:05:07,700 --> 00:05:12,400 for which it is very hard to get any good observations in fact it's 64 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:12,410 good observations in fact it's 65 00:05:12,410 --> 00:05:14,020 good observations in fact it's dreadfully hard to get good 66 00:05:14,020 --> 00:05:14,030 dreadfully hard to get good 67 00:05:14,030 --> 00:05:16,600 dreadfully hard to get good observational cause of cosmological data 68 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:16,610 observational cause of cosmological data 69 00:05:16,610 --> 00:05:19,390 observational cause of cosmological data and if Kobe is specially designed so 70 00:05:19,390 --> 00:05:19,400 and if Kobe is specially designed so 71 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,970 and if Kobe is specially designed so that all the things that might screw up 72 00:05:21,970 --> 00:05:21,980 that all the things that might screw up 73 00:05:21,980 --> 00:05:25,000 that all the things that might screw up the data or perturb it are you know 74 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:25,010 the data or perturb it are you know 75 00:05:25,010 --> 00:05:27,070 the data or perturb it are you know let's put in an orbit which is shielded 76 00:05:27,070 --> 00:05:27,080 let's put in an orbit which is shielded 77 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,160 let's put in an orbit which is shielded from the Sun very carefully it's kept 78 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:30,170 from the Sun very carefully it's kept 79 00:05:30,170 --> 00:05:32,710 from the Sun very carefully it's kept cold and a lot of things have been done 80 00:05:32,710 --> 00:05:32,720 cold and a lot of things have been done 81 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,020 cold and a lot of things have been done so that you don't have to correct so 82 00:05:35,020 --> 00:05:35,030 so that you don't have to correct so 83 00:05:35,030 --> 00:05:37,290 so that you don't have to correct so much and you can trust the data better 84 00:05:37,290 --> 00:05:37,300 much and you can trust the data better 85 00:05:37,300 --> 00:05:41,340 much and you can trust the data better so the public the cosmological 86 00:05:41,340 --> 00:05:41,350 so the public the cosmological 87 00:05:41,350 --> 00:05:44,380 so the public the cosmological information that comes from this we hope 88 00:05:44,380 --> 00:05:44,390 information that comes from this we hope 89 00:05:44,390 --> 00:05:48,490 information that comes from this we hope will be definitive and will not you will 90 00:05:48,490 --> 00:05:48,500 will be definitive and will not you will 91 00:05:48,500 --> 00:07:19,570 will be definitive and will not you will be very hard to argue with 92 00:07:19,570 --> 00:07:19,580 93 00:07:19,580 --> 00:07:21,439 when we look at the cosmic background 94 00:07:21,439 --> 00:07:21,449 when we look at the cosmic background 95 00:07:21,449 --> 00:07:23,300 when we look at the cosmic background radiation we're actually looking at the 96 00:07:23,300 --> 00:07:23,310 radiation we're actually looking at the 97 00:07:23,310 --> 00:07:24,770 radiation we're actually looking at the dominant form of energy in the whole 98 00:07:24,770 --> 00:07:24,780 dominant form of energy in the whole 99 00:07:24,780 --> 00:07:27,020 dominant form of energy in the whole universe this radiation fills the whole 100 00:07:27,020 --> 00:07:27,030 universe this radiation fills the whole 101 00:07:27,030 --> 00:07:29,839 universe this radiation fills the whole sky comes from every direction and so it 102 00:07:29,839 --> 00:07:29,849 sky comes from every direction and so it 103 00:07:29,849 --> 00:07:31,429 sky comes from every direction and so it adds up to be a hundred times as much 104 00:07:31,429 --> 00:07:31,439 adds up to be a hundred times as much 105 00:07:31,439 --> 00:07:33,290 adds up to be a hundred times as much energy as comes from all the stars all 106 00:07:33,290 --> 00:07:33,300 energy as comes from all the stars all 107 00:07:33,300 --> 00:07:35,570 energy as comes from all the stars all the galaxies all the sun's all the 108 00:07:35,570 --> 00:07:35,580 the galaxies all the sun's all the 109 00:07:35,580 --> 00:07:37,309 the galaxies all the sun's all the planets that people can see with their 110 00:07:37,309 --> 00:07:37,319 planets that people can see with their 111 00:07:37,319 --> 00:07:40,189 planets that people can see with their own eyes a hundred times as much as that 112 00:07:40,189 --> 00:07:40,199 own eyes a hundred times as much as that 113 00:07:40,199 --> 00:07:43,279 own eyes a hundred times as much as that so it's very important to realize we're 114 00:07:43,279 --> 00:07:43,289 so it's very important to realize we're 115 00:07:43,289 --> 00:07:45,050 so it's very important to realize we're looking at the dominant energy of the 116 00:07:45,050 --> 00:07:45,060 looking at the dominant energy of the 117 00:07:45,060 --> 00:07:46,519 looking at the dominant energy of the whole universe this is the remnant of 118 00:07:46,519 --> 00:07:46,529 whole universe this is the remnant of 119 00:07:46,529 --> 00:07:48,469 whole universe this is the remnant of the Big Bang itself that we're studying 120 00:07:48,469 --> 00:07:48,479 the Big Bang itself that we're studying 121 00:07:48,479 --> 00:09:24,890 the Big Bang itself that we're studying with the cobe satellite 122 00:09:24,890 --> 00:09:24,900 123 00:09:24,900 --> 00:09:27,930 coby gives us the opportunity to go look 124 00:09:27,930 --> 00:09:27,940 coby gives us the opportunity to go look 125 00:09:27,940 --> 00:09:30,270 coby gives us the opportunity to go look in detail at some of the major 126 00:09:30,270 --> 00:09:30,280 in detail at some of the major 127 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,400 in detail at some of the major predictions of the big bang theory and 128 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:32,410 predictions of the big bang theory and 129 00:09:32,410 --> 00:09:35,430 predictions of the big bang theory and the hope is that those details will 130 00:09:35,430 --> 00:09:35,440 the hope is that those details will 131 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,820 the hope is that those details will either verify or collapse that whole 132 00:09:38,820 --> 00:09:38,830 either verify or collapse that whole 133 00:09:38,830 --> 00:09:59,820 either verify or collapse that whole theory 134 00:09:59,820 --> 00:09:59,830 135 00:09:59,830 --> 00:10:35,710 you 136 00:10:35,710 --> 00:10:35,720 137 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,450 if we are successful in subtracting out 138 00:10:38,450 --> 00:10:38,460 if we are successful in subtracting out 139 00:10:38,460 --> 00:10:40,940 if we are successful in subtracting out the foreground radiations and definitely 140 00:10:40,940 --> 00:10:40,950 the foreground radiations and definitely 141 00:10:40,950 --> 00:10:45,170 the foreground radiations and definitely identifying a residual cosmic glow which 142 00:10:45,170 --> 00:10:45,180 identifying a residual cosmic glow which 143 00:10:45,180 --> 00:10:47,840 identifying a residual cosmic glow which can be interpreted as the cumulative 144 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:47,850 can be interpreted as the cumulative 145 00:10:47,850 --> 00:10:50,930 can be interpreted as the cumulative emission of first generations of stars 146 00:10:50,930 --> 00:10:50,940 emission of first generations of stars 147 00:10:50,940 --> 00:10:54,250 emission of first generations of stars and galaxies this is in and of itself a 148 00:10:54,250 --> 00:10:54,260 and galaxies this is in and of itself a 149 00:10:54,260 --> 00:10:57,020 and galaxies this is in and of itself a most exciting discovery this gives us 150 00:10:57,020 --> 00:10:57,030 most exciting discovery this gives us 151 00:10:57,030 --> 00:10:59,420 most exciting discovery this gives us direct evidence of an epoch in cosmic 152 00:10:59,420 --> 00:10:59,430 direct evidence of an epoch in cosmic 153 00:10:59,430 --> 00:11:01,040 direct evidence of an epoch in cosmic history that has not directly been 154 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:01,050 history that has not directly been 155 00:11:01,050 --> 00:11:12,360 history that has not directly been observed before 156 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:12,370 157 00:11:12,370 --> 00:11:15,280 what the Kobe will tell us at the end of 158 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:15,290 what the Kobe will tell us at the end of 159 00:11:15,290 --> 00:11:16,330 what the Kobe will tell us at the end of the mission and after our 160 00:11:16,330 --> 00:11:16,340 the mission and after our 161 00:11:16,340 --> 00:11:19,360 the mission and after our interpretations are done is how we got 162 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:19,370 interpretations are done is how we got 163 00:11:19,370 --> 00:11:21,820 interpretations are done is how we got here how the galaxies were formed from 164 00:11:21,820 --> 00:11:21,830 here how the galaxies were formed from 165 00:11:21,830 --> 00:11:24,160 here how the galaxies were formed from whatever was there before the Kobe 166 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:24,170 whatever was there before the Kobe 167 00:11:24,170 --> 00:11:27,160 whatever was there before the Kobe mission is worth every ounce of effort 168 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:27,170 mission is worth every ounce of effort 169 00:11:27,170 --> 00:11:31,990 mission is worth every ounce of effort we've put into it cosmology as you can 170 00:11:31,990 --> 00:11:32,000 we've put into it cosmology as you can 171 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,820 we've put into it cosmology as you can understand is a very difficult problem 172 00:11:33,820 --> 00:11:33,830 understand is a very difficult problem 173 00:11:33,830 --> 00:11:37,510 understand is a very difficult problem to study objectively we are given very 174 00:11:37,510 --> 00:11:37,520 to study objectively we are given very 175 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,310 to study objectively we are given very few fossils on the beach if you will 176 00:11:41,310 --> 00:11:41,320 few fossils on the beach if you will 177 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,250 few fossils on the beach if you will those few that are present and 178 00:11:45,250 --> 00:11:45,260 those few that are present and 179 00:11:45,260 --> 00:11:48,700 those few that are present and accessible still to us at this time 15 180 00:11:48,700 --> 00:11:48,710 accessible still to us at this time 15 181 00:11:48,710 --> 00:11:51,550 accessible still to us at this time 15 billion years or so after the primeval 182 00:11:51,550 --> 00:11:51,560 billion years or so after the primeval 183 00:11:51,560 --> 00:11:57,220 billion years or so after the primeval chaos are worth every bit of scrutiny we 184 00:11:57,220 --> 00:11:57,230 chaos are worth every bit of scrutiny we 185 00:11:57,230 --> 00:11:59,950 chaos are worth every bit of scrutiny we can give to them
