1 00:01:41,200 --> 00:00:59,410 you 2 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:43,790 how do we go from from the Big Bang 3 00:01:47,930 --> 00:01:45,690 that's really when you think about it 4 00:01:49,610 --> 00:01:47,940 very strange situation the universe 5 00:01:51,110 --> 00:01:49,620 being very hot and dense and expanding 6 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:51,120 and filling and turning out full of 7 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:52,530 galaxies and planets and stars and 8 00:01:56,930 --> 00:01:54,570 eventually life you know how do we get 9 00:01:59,090 --> 00:01:56,940 there how did that happen well something 10 00:02:00,950 --> 00:01:59,100 crazy went along to make it happen 11 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:00,960 because our simple models aren't working 12 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:03,570 right now we're missing a step it's like 13 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:06,330 a missing link and we give to find the 14 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:08,010 the fossils back there in the early 15 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:10,050 erase the missing link that will get us 16 00:02:18,660 --> 00:02:12,450 from the uniform universe to the 17 00:04:36,750 --> 00:02:51,290 you 18 00:04:41,290 --> 00:04:39,040 one of the really unique things about 19 00:04:44,050 --> 00:04:41,300 Kobe is that it's a scientific 20 00:04:46,060 --> 00:04:44,060 experiment from the very beginning it's 21 00:04:48,190 --> 00:04:46,070 like taking the instruments in your 22 00:04:50,730 --> 00:04:48,200 laboratory or instruments that we flew 23 00:04:55,030 --> 00:04:50,740 on balloons or in rockets years ago and 24 00:04:58,060 --> 00:04:55,040 putting those into a satellite package 25 00:05:04,320 --> 00:04:58,070 and essentially moving your laboratory 26 00:05:07,690 --> 00:05:04,330 in the space Kobe is attacking a problem 27 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:07,700 for which it is very hard to get any 28 00:05:14,020 --> 00:05:12,410 good observations in fact it's 29 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:14,030 dreadfully hard to get good 30 00:05:19,390 --> 00:05:16,610 observational cause of cosmological data 31 00:05:21,970 --> 00:05:19,400 and if Kobe is specially designed so 32 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:21,980 that all the things that might screw up 33 00:05:27,070 --> 00:05:25,010 the data or perturb it are you know 34 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:27,080 let's put in an orbit which is shielded 35 00:05:32,710 --> 00:05:30,170 from the Sun very carefully it's kept 36 00:05:35,020 --> 00:05:32,720 cold and a lot of things have been done 37 00:05:37,290 --> 00:05:35,030 so that you don't have to correct so 38 00:05:41,340 --> 00:05:37,300 much and you can trust the data better 39 00:05:44,380 --> 00:05:41,350 so the public the cosmological 40 00:05:48,490 --> 00:05:44,390 information that comes from this we hope 41 00:07:19,570 --> 00:05:48,500 will be definitive and will not you will 42 00:07:23,300 --> 00:07:21,439 when we look at the cosmic background 43 00:07:24,770 --> 00:07:23,310 radiation we're actually looking at the 44 00:07:27,020 --> 00:07:24,780 dominant form of energy in the whole 45 00:07:29,839 --> 00:07:27,030 universe this radiation fills the whole 46 00:07:31,429 --> 00:07:29,849 sky comes from every direction and so it 47 00:07:33,290 --> 00:07:31,439 adds up to be a hundred times as much 48 00:07:35,570 --> 00:07:33,300 energy as comes from all the stars all 49 00:07:37,309 --> 00:07:35,580 the galaxies all the sun's all the 50 00:07:40,189 --> 00:07:37,319 planets that people can see with their 51 00:07:43,279 --> 00:07:40,199 own eyes a hundred times as much as that 52 00:07:45,050 --> 00:07:43,289 so it's very important to realize we're 53 00:07:46,519 --> 00:07:45,060 looking at the dominant energy of the 54 00:07:48,469 --> 00:07:46,529 whole universe this is the remnant of 55 00:09:24,890 --> 00:07:48,479 the Big Bang itself that we're studying 56 00:09:30,270 --> 00:09:27,930 coby gives us the opportunity to go look 57 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:30,280 in detail at some of the major 58 00:09:35,430 --> 00:09:32,410 predictions of the big bang theory and 59 00:09:38,820 --> 00:09:35,440 the hope is that those details will 60 00:09:59,820 --> 00:09:38,830 either verify or collapse that whole 61 00:09:59,830 --> 00:10:35,710 you 62 00:10:40,940 --> 00:10:38,450 if we are successful in subtracting out 63 00:10:45,170 --> 00:10:40,950 the foreground radiations and definitely 64 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:45,180 identifying a residual cosmic glow which 65 00:10:50,930 --> 00:10:47,850 can be interpreted as the cumulative 66 00:10:54,250 --> 00:10:50,940 emission of first generations of stars 67 00:10:57,020 --> 00:10:54,260 and galaxies this is in and of itself a 68 00:10:59,420 --> 00:10:57,030 most exciting discovery this gives us 69 00:11:01,040 --> 00:10:59,430 direct evidence of an epoch in cosmic 70 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:01,050 history that has not directly been 71 00:11:16,330 --> 00:11:15,280 what the Kobe will tell us at the end of 72 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:16,340 the mission and after our 73 00:11:21,820 --> 00:11:19,370 interpretations are done is how we got 74 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:21,830 here how the galaxies were formed from 75 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:24,170 whatever was there before the Kobe 76 00:11:31,990 --> 00:11:27,170 mission is worth every ounce of effort 77 00:11:33,820 --> 00:11:32,000 we've put into it cosmology as you can 78 00:11:37,510 --> 00:11:33,830 understand is a very difficult problem 79 00:11:41,310 --> 00:11:37,520 to study objectively we are given very 80 00:11:45,250 --> 00:11:41,320 few fossils on the beach if you will 81 00:11:48,700 --> 00:11:45,260 those few that are present and 82 00:11:51,550 --> 00:11:48,710 accessible still to us at this time 15 83 00:11:57,220 --> 00:11:51,560 billion years or so after the primeval
